Ahoy there mateys!  My problem with this book comes down to my sense of humor and how the women are portrayed.  I am certainly in the minority because the crew loves it and there are eight books in the series.  I am glad I got this via Audible Plus and did not spend loot on it.  I also did not know it written as a series of short stories.  This is another book where I know I read about 20% but didn't take good notes so I could have read more.

I really did like the set-up of Fred becoming a vampire and decided to continue with his regular life because he likes being an accountant.  I liked the idea of him going to his high school reunion and what happens there.  The major problem was that the story felt so light and undetailed.  This makes sense given the short story angle but I wanted a better fleshed out world and details about Fred's life.

I also hated the insta-relationship between Fred and his girlfriend.  It came out of nowhere.  Also while Fred respects his girlfriend and her skills, I couldn't stand how he talked about how hot and badass she is.  Personal preference.  The voice actor for Fred didn't help matters.  Fred sounded like a teen idiot boy instead of a grown man.

Chalk this one up to not intended for me as an audience.  Arrrr!
