Description

Getting over Your Vampire Ex is as Easy as Killing Him and Stealing His Girlfriend

Holly Liddell has been stuck with crimped hair since 1987 when she agreed to let her boyfriend, Elton, turn her into a vampire. But when he ditches her at a gas station a few decades into their eternity together, she realizes that being young forever actually means working graveyard shifts at Taco Bell, sleeping in seedy motels, and being supernaturally compelled to follow your ex from town to town—at least until Holly meets Elton’s other exes.

It seems that Holly isn’t the only girl Elton seduced into this wretched existence. He turned Ida in 1921, then Rose in 1954, and he abandoned them both before Holly was even born. Now Rose and Ida want to kill him before he can trick another girl into eternal adolescence, and they’ll need Holly’s help to do it. And once Holly starts falling for Elton’s vulnerable new conquest, Parker, she’ll do anything to save her.

To kill Elton for good, Holly and her friends will have to dig up their pasts, rob a bank, and reconcile with the people they’ve hurt in their search for eternal love. And to win the girl, Holly will have to convince Parker that she’s more than just Elton’s crazy ex—even though she is trying to kill him.

I love this book! I was immediately sold when this book was described as John Tucker Must Die meets vampires. I stayed for the found family storyline, letting go of the past and building your own future despite your past.
This book is going to be so big once it’s released and I’m so happy I’ve had the opportunity to read it before it’s release!

I was very excited to receive an ARC of the Lost Girls and I loved it. I loved the Sapphic romance. I also loved the found family and themes of forging your own future despite your past. The characters were all fantastic and wonderfully developed. Each of the girls had their own interesting backstories with the mistakes that brought them all together. I also loved how the vampire lore was made in this one. It felt unique and was an interesting portrayal of vampires. There was a lot of humor and emotion to this book. This was a phenomenal book with a lot of twists that kept me glued to the pages.

I would like to thank the publisher for providing me with an ARC.

The Lost Girls is described as a John Tucker Must Die style revenge with scorned vampire ladies! This premise immediately had me hooked as it is so very common within vampire fantasy that eternal love is, well, forever. It was so refreshing to see a realistic take on what would happen if a teenager was caught up in the supernatural; and the fact that Holly is stuck with crimped hair for eternity has me second guessing all my fashion choices (y’know just in case) 😉

What I primarily loved about this book was how easy it was to read. It’s quite short with a conversational flow that made me feel totally engaged but it mainly made me feel nostalgic. It connected to my teenage vampire heart that I’ve never truly let go of 😅 it had laugh out loud moments (seriously if I had to work in a fast food restaurant even after death I’d be fuming) and the character descriptions were amazing!!! I have a soft spot in my heart for the vampire ladies Ida and Rose and in all honesty I wanted even more of them! To see the three girls actually create a bond together was so heartwarming!

And how could I not mention that this book also has LGBTQ+ rep!!! Yes that’s right one of our vampy ladies falls for the human girl her ex lover is trying to turn!!! Every scene with these two girls has me giggling and smiling like an idiot it was so wholesome! Honestly I thoroughly enjoyed this book and quite literally consumed it. If you’re a vampire girl like me it’s a must, especially if you’re in the mood for something more YA!!!
