Vesper Glen

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!

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! 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.

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.

This book had a cool concept—detective going back to a town that’s hiding some shocking truths about its people—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 “monster” 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.
