Resumen del Editor

Sonia Hartl’s The Lost Girls is laced with dark humor and queer love; it’s John Tucker Must Die with a feminist girl gang of vampires.

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.

It was good.

The story is interesting and a very different take on vampires. I didn’t hate the new vampire rules but it was an adjustment. The character relationships are very well done.

Great book!:)

Overall Lost Girls was a great book! A little slow the first couple chapter for me, but I really got into it once other characters were introduced. I finished it in one day haha. Hoping for a second book in this universe, maybe a jump into the future type deal?

Good, not great. Definitely enjoyable.

4 stars

So, this is sold as John Tucker Must Die, but with vampires. And it's sapphic! I'm sold. This isn't a masterpiece by any means. It's a bit silly at times, and the world-building is a bit questionable with the vampire lore and whatnot, but this is just a lot of fun. I had such a good time. The feminine rage was a vibe that I was vibing with for the whole story. Who hasn't wanted a bit of revenge on a toxic ex? I love how Ida, Rose, and Holly created their own little found family out of all of this. Overall, it's good, not great, but a very enjoyable time to be had.

surprisingly good...

I truly did not expect to like this book. I got it looking for something to listen to to cut the boredom at work for a day. but I found myself getting into the story.

Amazing Story and Reader!

I loved the way the reader sounded, the plot was engaging, and I would definitely recommend this book!

Had promise

I really liked how the story started. I even started recommending it to my friends. However, we get to a point of grey area where a vampire who was 16 when she died, and has been a vampire for over 30 years starts a romantic and sexual relationship with a high schooler. :/
Earlier in the story the villain is called out for the behavior as disgusting, and then the main character does it and it’s fine? Just really rubbed me the wrong way.
