Review: The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires - Grady Hendrix - April 2020 This particular book, I tried a few years ago and couldn't get into it.

When Anna rocks up to a crime scene, she is shocked as the victim looks like her, was holding yellow flowers, and to make matters worse has the same necklace ...
