Post-apocalyptic conclusion to the trilogy, where vampires now rule, the nuclear cloud allowing them to move around in the daytime. An interesting take as small groups of humans then start to rebel against their overlords and refuse to be farmed.

Thus was much better than the sparkly vampires on my opinion. It is one of my favorites that I read over and over. The chemistry part was onteresting, the dog wonderful, and the whole idea hooked me and didn't let go.
  
Received an eArc from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This is a wild and wacky retalling of the Oz stories involving vampires, werewolves, and zombies.

The humor is spot on and it's just gory enough!

Octavia E. Butler | 2005 | Science Fiction/Fantasy

Book Favorite

"Octavia Butler is one of my top favorite authors, and my favorite sci-fi writer of all time. Her writing is always at the intersection of race, class — and in this instance, vampires. I love fantastical things, and because this focuses on vampires and not humans it adds another element of imagination. In the book, she’s having a conversation about racism, but through vampires, and you just never know where that’s going to go. You’re reading it, reading it, reading it, and then it takes a hard left, and you’re like Oh shit, I didn’t realize we were going to go into these deep political topics. Even though she always does that in her books. I’ve read pretty much all of them, but this was my favorite. She died pretty soon after she wrote it, so it has a lot of sentimental value for me."
