"Christmas won't be Christmas without any corpses." The dear, sweet March sisters are back, and Marmee has told them to be good little women. Good little vampire women, that is. That's right: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy have grown up since you last read their tale, and now they have (much) longer lives and (much) more ravenous appetites. Marmee has taught them well, and so they live by an unprecedented moral code of abstinence ... from human blood. Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy must learn to get along with one another, help make society a better place, and avoid the vampire hunters who pose a constant threat to their existence. Plus, Laurie is dying to become a part of the March family, at any cost. Some things never change. This horrifying — and hilarious — retelling of a timeless American classic will leave readers craving the bloodthirsty drama on each and every page

I haven’t read the original Little Women in years, so I’m a little rusty about the plot. It didn’t seem to matter though, because I still was able to enjoy this book completely. If you’re like me and struggle a little with the classics, you might find this one a good read because of the vampire theme. It added excitement to the story and I was really excited to see what would happen next. Yes, I had a vague idea since the book does follow the original, but as I mentioned, the vampire theme was a great touch.
I also want to note that if you are a fan of vampire stories in general but want something different than the same old story, you’ll find it here. Picturing the girls with fangs and imagining them debating what wildlife they’d like to spend their money on was so fun.
I enjoyed this book, and if you’re a fan of fun retellings of classics, give it a read. I think you’ll really like it!
