Brilliant, fun, inspirational, epic!

Great job again, Chris! Are you single? Please write a sequel to this epic novel! Vampire clans can do SO much good in the world with Jody as their high priestess and Tommy as her bitch. Keep up the great work and thank you for everything you do and everything you are 😊❤️💜💚😉🙏👍🏼

So-so vampire story

Perhaps it was my inability to get onside with any of the major characters and as a result I found the story flat and not very interesting.

I thought the book just okay.

A hilarious yet good story

So funny! You would expect something this funny to have no depth, but…..the characters are full and relatable. Listened to it and the subsequent stories more than twice. Well worth a credit.

Still great fun. Triggering to modern PC

I shared listening to this when it was nearly new and lots of LOL moments and a great shared experience. Relistened and read the negative reviews and it makes sense how humor is now expressed a little differently but moreso how we’ve been taught to be offended by the mere mention of certain stereotypes and motives.
It’s sad that modern media or society has taught us that what we see or hear must be filtered for offense before we can find the humor in human foibles.
Offensivity is not a virtue, it implies judgementalism which is also not a desirable trait. Dear listeners, you have at least my permission to laugh without restraint.

It had everything you want from fantasy while not taking itself to seriously.

We need more Christopher Moore and more fantasy writers like him. It’s funny, it’s smart, it’s sexy, and the characters are self aware and honest.

A Novel For the Not So Classic Vampire Fan!

I absolutely love Christopher Moore! He is my unsung literary hero and I feindishly gobble up every novel he has ever written and unpatiently await his next work of genious! Blood Sucking Fiends is the first of (so far) three Vampire novels staring Jodi & Tommy, your not so ordinary vampire couple. These novels are sexy, funny and encompass Moore's unending talent for bringing interesting characters that grow and develop and change as each story takes its turns and twists. I highly recommend this one for those of you who love the art of sarcasm and wit.
