my first introduction to fantasy when I was maybe 7 or 8 years old. I love the universe. 

Read as child and again few years later as a young adult. I'm not a big fan of AC but I really love this one 

way better than Twilight but still not the big deal (but I don't like the girly romance stuff from twilight so...).

It’s 70’s vintage Desperate Housewives welcoming (kind of) southern way the new True-Blood-like people in the neighborhood. I stumbled on this one without knowing the author or being in a mood for horror few years ago but I didn't regret one second of this book. It's funny, witty and ... yeah not really scary but spooky in a Grady Hendrix kind of way. i like this kind of witty, dark humor, kind of old school stereotype horror. You never know what you´l find in the book and you always have fun at the end. I know pretty well Grady Hendrix's  work now and most of their books are in the same vibes, witty, kind of horror in a dark humor, a bit gory way, and well written. A must read without hesitation.
