Iโ€™ve posted before about how much I loved this trilogy, and the third book knocks it out of the park! Perfect for anyone searching for a fresh take on the vampire genre as we follow Vladimir Radu - and the consequences he faces for his decision to come out about his sexualityโ€ฆand being a vampire. 

With new conflicts, characters and dangers around every corner, thereโ€™s never a dull moment as Vlad attempts to simply live his life as the worldโ€™s only public vampire. With the final book in the trilogy extending the playing field with his attempt to introduce vampires to the modern world - aptly called the Fang Society for American Vampires - new enemies and allies are added to the mix. When both new and old vampiric danger is on the rise, Vlad must rely on his friends and allies to come to a solution that wonโ€™t send everything heโ€™s worked for crashing down around him.

I was given the opportunity to ARC read the third book in this trilogy, and I canโ€™t wait to complete my physical collection! Iโ€™d recommend this to anyone looking for a fun, campy - and at times a bit gory - vampire series that tackles both the real (and fang-tastic) trials of being in the public scrutiny - both for who you are, as well as who you love. 

With such a strong ending to this trilogy, I can't wait to see where this author goes next! (And if the series is ever expanded past these three books, I'll absolutely be reading it!)
