panI read this series as a teenager and remembered that this was my least favorite. Holds true. Lestat is impossible. His lack of impulse control is ridiculous and not at all charming. The rape scene of his first foray into sex as a human again was awful. And then he basically did the vampire version of that at the end by making David Talbot a vampire without consent. His remorse after each was laughable. Completely led by his emotions.
pickI did not expect to like this book, but it drew me in, and by the 2nd half, I couldn't put it down! The storytelling, world building, characters, and magic all hooked me! I wasn't wild about Six of Crows, the only other one of Bardugo's I have read, but I decided to give her another try since she is our March #AuthorAMonth. I'm so glad I did! I will definitely pick up the sequel and continue with this story! @Soubhiville

pickWhen I was a horror-loving Heathers-and-The-Craft-fanatic of a teen I would have been OBSESSED with this book.
pickMy friend practically threw this book at me and I am SO GRATEFUL! This is a gem of indie horror fiction and I want to read everything else Sodergren has written.
An elderly Scottish lady refuses to leave her home, even as her village is razed by an American billionaire to build a resort. One day, she finds a gelatinous creature on the shore and everything changes.
It made me feel things. I was enraged, moved, disgusted, and entertained.
pickThis was a disturbing book. Some houses are haunted by spirit entities, and some are haunted by the living. Haunted with hatred, fear, racism and violence.
This one gives me very Jordan Peele vibes and I would love to see it adapted onto the big screen.
pickThis was a fun collection of short story adventures featuring the very prosaic and conflict shy Fred the vampire. Each story builds off the previous but are also self contained adventures. I e heard complaints that the fix up nature of the book leads to too much repetition but it wasn‘t enough to bother me.
