"The stakes get higher in this sharp new vampire series"
April 2024 Book of the Month
Malika, aka Boog, and her best friends Jules and Cedric face problems your average kid doesn’t. Their town is under attack from vampires and they and their families are the only thing standing between their neighbours and the undead.
In the first book in this series, we discovered that in their younger days their parents were members of The Vanquishers, specially trained vampire slayers. The stakes (sorry) are considerably higher in this episode, the vampires are stronger and a lot more aggressive while the arrival of the mysterious Department of Vampire Affairs just adds to the challenge.
The kids themselves need to arm themselves and fight alongside their parents – and in the midst of it all, they’ve still got to do their homework.
The vampire action is properly thrilling, but just as appealing is the description of the friendship between our young vampire slayers, while there’s a strong seam of social comment too, these are Black vampire hunters after all. Recommended.
The second book in the bitingly brilliant and fangtastically feisty middle-grade series The Vanquishers by New York Times bestselling author Kalynn Bayron.
