Oh my gawd was this ever the craziest ride! I promise you if I had not been listening to the audio, which was exceptional to me...for a book like this...I am not sure I would have been able to read it. There is a lot of gore here. A lot of shenanigans, over the top mayhem, the macabre, zany characters and activities. It works tho! A good bit of gore, which I usually can never read. But, I laughed and gasped often very close together on my afternoon (thankfully very sunny) walks. It is hilarious at times. I highly recommend it!

So, these women in Charleston, (my sister used to live there and I have enjoyed visiting many times) don't like this horrid bookclub and they decide to form their own. One that is much more fun with reading true crime and mystery novels. Manson, Dahmer..those kind. A very attractive young man, James, moves nearby and he wants to join them too! Housewife and doctor's wife, Patricia, the main character, is quickly taken with him and befriends him.

But! Soon, death is all around and the ladies begin to suspect someone in their community is taking and killing innocent children. A lot of unexplained things go on and some of the women suspect James is involved. It divides them.

I'd love to add so many of the twisted details here, but I'd better let you discover that for yourself. Family members die, there is a rat scene that so gross, but you can't stop reading. There are ghosts.. Vampires, creatures of the night. Dismemberment. Shall I go on? Oh, and lots of blood.

I'll say it again, this is NOT MY KIND OF BOOK! But, I sure had fun with it. The blurb is perfect Steel Magnolias meets Dracula. I have not read Grady Hendrix before. I am going to be adding more by this author. Some of us read this as a buddy read in Traveling Sisters and it was a very satisfying discussion. No men in it thankfully!!
