The Reformed Vampire Support Group
By Catherine Jinks
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
368 pp., $17
You won't find Edward Cullen or LeStat at any of Father Ramon's Tuesday night meetings at St. Agatha's Church in Sydney, where a motley crew of vampires talk about their daily struggle to abstain from "fanging" humans. In this Australian author's amusing tale,vampires aren't beautiful, fearless creatures with superhuman strength. They're sickly, paranoid, and usually too nauseated to walk down the street. But after one of their group is murdered, the ragtag bunch is forced out of hiding to track down the killer. — Korina Lopez
