It's been years since I read this #standalone zombie book, but I recall it being a very slow burn that I couldn't put down. A close examination of death and grief that stops just short of being a full zombie apocalypse story.

A late post 😳Thank you @mommamanzi for this great #CBBC box. There are two extra books 😃which I‘m excited to read:Bless Your Heart and Four Parties and Funeral. The book club book sounds interesting (Sprinkles and Sea Serpent). As I mentioned in the email, trying to save the coloring book and coloring pencils from my daughter😂 What can I say about the coffee? I‘m enjoying my flavor coffee every afternoon☕️😌 Thank you🥰♥️♥️♥️

If you like weirdly heartwarming horror, this one‘s for you! With themes/images reminiscent of both Practical Magic and Southern Book Club‘s Guide to Slaying Vampires, it‘s hard not to love Ryan‘s entry to the vampire/zombie canon.

Read this one last week. It was pretty gruesome but found it an interesting take on vampires. Though they call them strigoi (not sure the spelling) and they‘re kind of more like zombies.

Four women own and run a funeral parlor and have quite a history.

Devoured this in one sitting. Horror story about ghouls attacking a Texas town with plenty of gore, a twist I did not see coming, and a family of women fighting the dead.
I am not into horror usually, but this was great because there was humor and a lot of dramatic tension mixed in.
I think the cover does the book a disservice. This has a lot of gore and horror mixed in with the banter. It is NOT some cute, sweet texas vampire story.

Weird, quirky and fun!

Not quite what I expected!

Horror isn‘t my usual fare, but this vampire/horror/mystery combo has me itching for a sequel. Read my full review here: https://debbybrauer.org/#bless-your-heart

Publication is expected April 9.
