The Suicide Motor Club by Christopher Buehlman
4.0

Do you like cool, muscle cars? Intense car races and games of chicken? Murderous vampires and vampire slaying? Badass nuns? Stories of revenge? Read this book! Actually, listen to the audiobook version. Once again, the author Christopher Buehlman does a fantastic job reading his own work with really wonderful voice acting!

I read The Lesser Dead first and really, really enjoyed it so I decided to read his other vampire book next. They aren't part of a series (might take place in the same universe, if there was a clue I missed it), but the type of vampire he created is the same: burns in sunlight, lives a long time, can mesmerize their prey which makes them drool when they're "charmed", very hard to kill.

He does go off on tangents and monologues a lot in this one though, which I feel is easier to get through with an audiobook, but man, it got a bit long and Stephen King-like with some of these back stories of characters that we meet for, like, 10 pages and they're gone!
