Review; The Lost Girls by Sonia Hartl
Description from Goodreads
Sonia Hartl’s The Lost Girls is laced with dark humor and queer love; it’s John Tucker Must Die with a feminist girl gang of vampires.When Elton Irving turned Holly Liddell into a vampire in 1987, he promised her eternal love. But thirty-four years later, Elton has left her, her hair will be crimped for the rest of immortality, and the only job she can get as a forever-sixteen-year-old is the midnight shift at Taco Bell.
Holly’s afterlife takes an interesting turn when she meets Rose McKay and Ida Ripley. Having also been turned and discarded by Elton—Rose in 1954, and Ida, his ex-fiancée, in 1921—they want to help her, and ask for her help in return.
Rose and Ida are going to kill Elton before he turns another girl. Though Holly is hurt and angry with Elton for tossing her aside, she’s reluctant to kill her ex, until Holly meets Parker Kerr—the new girl Elton has set his sights on—and feels a quick, and nerve-wracking attraction to her.
My Thoughts on the Book
The Lost Girls is a light-hearted and fun revenge story with an unlikely group of girls/women teaming up for revenge. After all, some men regardless of whether they're mortals or vampires, are total duchebags after all. I liked the majority of the characters, even if I wanted to smack a few of them on the head a few times and the plot is engaging with a few twists and turns.
It may not be the best read of the year, but The Lost Girls is still a fun book to read.
