So Thirsty

 So Thirsty by Rachel Harrison, 304 pages.

Sloane Parker is starting to grow old in a life she finds deeply mediocre, but at least it's safe. Her lukewarm husband buys her a trip to a luxury cabin with her best friend, and Naomi makes it her goal to shake Sloane out of the life that isn't making her happy and really live for once. The shake is perhaps a little harder than she intended, as the wild party she drags them to ends with death instead of life, and vampiric transformations for the two of them. Faced with mounting horror, Sloane has to decide if the price of change is too high for happiness. 

This book opens really strong. I liked the character voice for Sloane, and I liked how much fun the author was clearly having with little dramatic irony lines as the audience knows they are reading a vampire book but the characters don't know they are in one. Unfortunately, I found myself losing interest as we got to the actual vampire part of the book and Sloane's angst started drowning out anything else, which is a little unfortunate and unexpected given the genre. I did still find this book to be fun and easy to read, so while I wouldn't consider this an amazing book, I do think vampire enjoyers would have a good time with it.
