The Radleys (Peter, Helen , Clara and Rowan) have a secret - they are vampires trying to live a quiet life following the abstainers handbook. When a situation occurs putting Clara in danger of being found out, the parents ask Uncle Will to help them. His arrival changes everything for their family. Overall, a good, not great read.

1-16-23: My 6th finished book of 2023! The Radleys, Peter and Helen, seem to be a normal husband and wife. However, along with their two children, Rowen and Clara, they have one flaw. They happen to be abstaining vampires! The kids don‘t know why they never feel well until one day after a bizarre event, they are finally told. When their uncle comes to town things take a turn and the family has to come to terms with their choices. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣6️⃣

GidgetsTreasures75 I‘m always up for a vampire tale and I‘ll read anything Matt Haig writes. 👍🏼 1y

This was the vampire novel I didn't know that I needed - dark, macabre, and funny all at once. A twist on the classic mythology. The Radleys are a typical suburban family, except that they're also vampires. But in this world, vampires can choose to abstain from drinking blood. It makes them weaker, but they can be "normal". Normal enough that the kids don't even realize their own secret. That is, until Clara accidentally murders her classmate.

This was my first Matt Haig and I will definitely be returning! This novel kept me engaged and reading quickly to find out what would happen. You know a book is good when you think about reading it when you have other things to do! This isn‘t a typical vampire novel. This novel had much to say about morals and values, secrets, and relationships. Loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

ReadingRover I read The Labrador Pact by him earlier this year and really liked it. I think I‘ll try this one or the Humans next. 5y

I'm betting that vampires are all for #daylightsavingstime extra hours to feed. The Radleys are your typical family facing all the challenges of family and life, including being vampires.

I never, in a million years, would have picked up a book that I knew was about vampires. However, this was the third book in a row I read by #MattHaig !! And I really enjoyed it...seems different from what I imagined a “vampire story” to be 😊 4/5 🌟

Kaye Sounds great. I need to pick this one up too 😊. 6y

When you can‘t figure out where your bookmark went, so you use whatever‘s around, which is usually another book.

Ruri_kaichou This happened to my daughter a few nights ago. Except, she's 4 so she didn't realize it was not a good idea to use a book bigger than the book she is reading as a bookmark 😅 so I have get a sheet of paper instead 🤣🤣🤣 6y

Loved this, this is a fun exciting witty novel. Definitely not your average run of the mill Vampire story. This is about a suburban family of vampires even though their teenage children are unaware off who they really are until one eventful night where nothing will ever be the same again. #matthaig #vampires

I loved this book! It was a quick read. I don't want to stop reading it once I started. I can't remember the last time I wanted to sit all day and read a book cover to cover. The book is about a family of abstaining vampires. The parents haven't told the children they are vampires, leading to the events of the book.

I had never heard of this author or book, but between the cover art and the fantastic blurb, I had to have it. Still haven't read it yet, but it is a impulse buy-causing blurb for sure!

"One night, when Clara finds herself driven to committing a bloodthirsty act of violence, her parents react with resignation rather than horror."

Die Radleys - Matt Haig 📗
Volle Punktzahl, weil mich das Buch trotz Voreingenommenheit überraschen und begeistern konnte. Ich bin froh, dass ich es entdeckt habe und nicht vor dem mittlerweile ausgelutschten Vampirthema zurückgeschreckt bin. Es gibt definitiv noch mehr da draußen als Glitzervampire 😉 zum Beispiel ein Cover, das im Dunkeln leuchtet.

Meine ausführlichen Buchgedanken gibt es jetzt auf meinem Blog Teestube🍵 tinkabeere.blogspot.de
