Now Mina is determined to reunite with Libby, and so she moves into Libby’s apartment with her two roommates, Jared and Lucas, eager to experience the delights and thrills of New Orleans firsthand. Their mother mysteriously disappeared a year ago, an event that should have brought the two sisters together, but instead it ripped them apart. Still, I can’t deny I had a lot of fun reading this book, especially the second half which made me gasp out loud with each new twist.Īfter her sister Libby ditched her to go to college in New Orleans, Mina has decided to visit her and try to patch things up. This is one of those cases where a debut actually felt like a debut, with a couple of missteps that could be smoothed out with more experience. Oh and I can’t forget the jaw-dropping twists around every corner! It all sounds like a recipe for success, but it didn’t quite hit the mark for me, unfortunately. Mina and the Undead has a lot going for it: the New Orleans setting (with plenty of references to Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire ), a creepy horror mansion with lots of ambiance, a lively young cast of characters, a cool 90s vibe, and some interesting family drama that added a nice extra layer to the story. The nitty-gritty: I loved the 90s/New Orleans/vampire mythology vibe, but the pacing was inconsistent and the final reveals were too over-the-top for me.
