When the bloodsuckers capture Queenie, it's up to Reece and the Legion to save her before the Regens Noctis - the true ruler of the night - plunges the city into an orgy of blood. Read more
Review
This book has a lot of stuff to enjoy: horror, vampires, comedy, romance, action, and mystery. Reece is a man of many mistakes, but he genuinely tries to do the right thing even if he sometimes displays a comedic level of lack of self-awareness. The absolute king of saying the absolute wrong thing at the wrong time. His personality gave the book a cheesy 80s horror comedy feel, which I absolutely loved about it and hope was intentional. Reece grows on you even if he does some seriously cringy thing. In short, he stumbles across a dead body while seeking answers to the supposed suicide of a friend, which sucks him into a world of paranormal danger he is not ready for. But at least he has a hot girlfriend. He has a lot of demons and insecurities, and he fully believes at first in the importance of his job as a cop to protect and serve. An ideal he becomes disillusioned with as he realizes the institution is corrupt. Good thing he has a whole new pack of monster-slaying motorcycle gang friends. The final battle at Bat Hollow was fun-- gorey, creative, and fast-paced. Really, it was like watching an 80s USA Up All Night movie without your parents catching you. I had tons of with this one because of the humor.
