Little Vampire Women by Lynn Messina

Summary:

"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

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

What I think:

I loved the original novel of Louisa May Alcott so when I got this last Christmas and read in the back of the book that it would be hilarious, I expected it to humor me so I read it immediately with excitement leaving the other book I was reading behind. But it let me down.

I expected it would be a rather fun story more so than "Little Women" because I really had fun reading the original version but as I said, it wasn't at all what I had in mind before I read it.

In short, I loved the original version of Louisa May Alcott. Maybe I'm just not into this vampire stuff anymore like I used to be the past few years. And maybe I would've liked it more if I haven't read the "Little Women" first.

This is the first book I had which was rewritten from an original novel and it discouraged me to read another one like maybe Pride and Prejudice and Zombies or Wuthering Bites. Maybe I would give this kind of books another chance later, just not now.
