The Reformed Vampire Support Group
by Jinks, Catherine
Being a vampire is usually sold as a glamorous, immortal party, but for Nina Harrison and her peers, it is just a tedious exercise in misery. Stuck in a support group for the undead, these characters are far from the brooding aristocrats of gothic fiction. Instead, they are cynical, struggling, and deeply human in their flaws. Catherine Jinks strips away the velvet capes and romance to focus on the grit of eternal life, offering a narrative that feels like a dark, satirical sitcom. The pacing is tight and the wit is sharp, balancing teenage existential dread with the bizarre logistics of not being able to die. If you prefer your supernatural fiction with a side of biting social commentary and a cast of characters who are trying their best to act normal while dealing with a monstrous reality, this book is for you.
