Newly Undead in Dark River by Grace McGinty
3.25

At the time of reading there were only 3 books in this series out but she has since come out with a 4th which I will probably go back and read it. This follows Raine a girl who wakes up in a ditch after hitchhiking and wanders into a small town called Dark River only to find out she has been turned into a vampire and this is a town of vampires who have agreed to live peacefully and not drink from humans or kill them (they get their blood from a blood bank). Raine being turned is essentially a murder in their eyes and so the sherif of the town begins to investigate. The first book mostly follows this issue but then the next two books open up into the greater supernatural world and overarching plot. The characters from this series appear in the final series which I read. This series really worked for me, the first two were a little too much power, angles and demons and all that, vampires feel more grounded somehow, idk man.
