Reading the previous books is definitely recommended when Katie revisits the world she created in A Girl’s Guide to Vampires and Sex and the Single Vampire. Many of the characters from the previous books make an appearance here and their story continues in this one. The final battle between good and evil will definitely catch your attention, though the ending is abrupt and not all that satisfying. Like the other stories, this one is very dark, though Katie’s sense of humor does show through. If you like vampires, you’ll love this book.
