The Afterlife of the Party by Marlene Perez

The Afterlife of the Party (Afterlife, #1)

by Marlene Perez

When my best friend Skyler told me about this party in the Hollywood Hills, I was less than enthused. As it turned out, my feelings were more than justified. That party ruined my life.

Tansy didn’t even want to go to the party. It’s hard enough living in one of your best friend’s shadows and secretly in love with your other best friend.

And now she’s leaving it a vampire.

Now her best friend Skyler is stuck on the road trip from hell, on tour as a groupie with a literal band of vamps. Tansy sets out with Vaughn, her other BFF turned maybe more, to save Skylar’s life and take down the band. But when they find themselves in the middle of a vampire war, will Tansy be able to make the ultimate sacrifice to save her friends?

Tansy's best friend Skyler gets involved with a vampire emo band called "The Drainers" and it's up to her, the guy she secretly fancies and her witch Granny to save Skyler from their clutches!

A fun concept with alot to like but also some writing issues that holds me back from giving this a higher rating. I really liked most of the characters, Granny and her coven of sassy OAPs were hilarious and I loved the relationship between Tansy and Vaugn. I would have liked to learn more about Tansy's abilities as a witch and the whole supernatural element to this story, it was abit under developed for me and I think there was definitely room to explore that more. Things got a little repetitive and there were a few characters that I had no idea why they were involved at all really but other than that I found it a funny and enjoyable read.

Thank you Netgalley and Entangled Publishing for sending me a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
