Wow I didn‘t expect to like this book as much as I did. Loved the plot and “side stories”, interesting ending, and a great mix of light humor and darker topics throughout

Hot damn…this was the first time in forever I got completely lost in a book. This officially replaces Bunnicula as my favorite vampire book! 🤷♂️😜 This built well on vampire lore with the author putting his own creative spin on things. This had a creepy,engaging plot and the author did well with creating interesting characters and with world-building. Oh and those last two chapters and ending!😵😂 I‘ll be reading a ton more Buehlman! 4.5/5
Another form my TBR….This is a story about vampires in NYC in the late 1970s! I‘m not much of a vampire fan but want to give this a try after being impressed by Between Two Fires.

If vampires are your thing, this book is a winner: gruesome, creepy, funny and heartbreaking. I loved it.

My spooky October read. So far a great audio book and a crazy love letter to NYC and its subway, with a lot of bloodshed and attitude 👍
I loved this story of 14-year-old Joey Peacock, a vampire in 1978 NYC. He lives with a group of vampires in the subway tunnels and they have rules about how they conduct themselves. Then a new gang of vampires show up and they are not rule followers. At all. This book is funny, gross, and sad. I loved it.
Catching up on some reviews.
I highly recommend this book to any fans of dark, bloody books full of vampires. You won't find sparkly vampires in this one though, but you will find one hell of a plot twist at the end.
This book is dark & bloody, with scary-ass vampires.
Joey Peacock, what a dandy name for a blood-sucking vampire, his wit and candor rival that of Damon Salvatore.
If you think you've conceived vampires in every possible way...and this couldn't add anything to the genre...you're wrong.

Holy plot twist, Batman!!! I wasn‘t too sure about this book, but the last 1/4 reached out and grabbed me!
Now I‘m enjoying #TeamHarkness appropriate beer while I start The Wicked Deep.

We follow Joey Peacock, a perpetually 14 yo looking vampire, in late 1970‘s NYC as he tells us about his family of vampires who live in abandoned subway tunnels. How his community goes on high alert when they discover these new on the block vampire children who threaten their exposure. This was well written. NYC is a huge character in here with plenty of tendrils into history that had me googling things. Even though I felt like I got slapped 👇🏼
So far, this book about a gaggle of vampires living underneath the NYC subway system in the late 1970‘s is kinda wonderful.
"As much F. Scott Fitzgerald as Dean Koontz." -Patricia Briggs || I was looking up which Patricia Briggs books my library app had & this came up. I've never read Koontz or F. Scott (though I know the tone of the latter enough to know it when I hear it). Buehlman narrates his own book & is superb at weaving you into the atmosphere & time of his gritty Vampire story. I'm almost half way through & if you like your Vampires honest/gruesome, try this!
I got over halfway in and it felt like nothing exciting was happening. Oh well.
Really digging Buehlman's vampires. Finished this one up and jumped right into SUICIDE MOTOR CLUB. Great prose that reads so fast. My new favorite adjective for a good read: "propulsive."
