Charlie Pike, a detective with the Boston Police Department, gets a call from his hometown in Vermont, asking if he wants to be their new police chief. It's an appealing offer, but it would mean telling his wife Abbie, and eventually their kids Natalie and Marcus, about the "V's" - the hundred or so residents of Vesper Glen with symbionts that make them live for centuries, heal rapidly from wounds, avoid sunlight and garlic, and regularly need to consume blood.

Even after Abbie overcomes her initial skepticism, and Charlie takes the job, she's still apprehensive about her new neighbors, including leading citizen John Saxon, town doctor Meara Desmond, and night-shift Sergeant Ray Dante. Still, the family settles into small town life, sharing the ancestral Pike house with Charlie's elderly dad.

Then a run-in with a biker gang gets the attention of an FBI agent, a hostile Army officer, a marauding band of V's whose leader holds a grudge against John, and a secret society of fanatical vampire hunters. All of this will test the ingenuity and determination of the entire community ...

Coryn Noble weaves a rich narrative tapestry that reinvents the vampire, and raises questions of what it means to be human - or what makes a monster - through the eyes of a small town cop, his family, and his neighbors.

Not your typical vampire story

Vesper Glen is a horror read that is suspenseful and full of unexpected twists. Set in small town Vermont, this isn’t your typical vampire story. A great read!

great thriller

Using a metaphor of a small city where vampires and humans peacefully coexist, this books bring an interesting discussion about fanaticism, extremism, and the fear of the different. I found it very comtemporary in the times we live in. Not to mention the story, it is fast-paced and it will place you in a fantastical world that if you love vampire stories you cannot miss.

Great read

Great read! The book took a twist for me as vampires aren't seen as these vile, evil things, but instead are seen as normal everyday joe's to the populace. While there is plenty of suspense and drama, this book promises heartfelt connection and with the vermont community within the drama.

Wild and Clever Vampire Lore

What a wild and clever twist on vampire lore! Vesper Glen blends small-town charm with a deeply original mythos, building a rich world of secrecy, tradition, and supernatural history. The characters, especially John Saxon and the V’s, feel lived-in and layered, and the story’s slow burn pays off in emotional depth and thought-provoking questions. Perfect for fans of grounded fantasy with heart.

A Unique Take, but Could Be Better

This book had a cool conceptβ€”detective going back to a town that’s hiding some shocking truths about its peopleβ€”but it didn't quite hit the mark for me. While the glimpses into Charlie’s life are interesting, the plot got a bit muddled with all the different characters, like the Army officer and the FBI agent coming in. It felt a little chaotic and hard to follow at times.There were moments where I thought the story could have delved deeper into what makes someone a β€œmonster” or not, which could really add layers to the narrative. Also, the family's transition to life in Vesper Glen had potential but wasn’t as explored as I hoped.
