The Vampire Knitting Club (book 1) by Nancy Warren
262 pages, published 2018
Fast paced

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“At least modern vampires had blood banks and other ways to get the blood they needed, and, thanks to the rise in skin cancer, modern technology had invented all sorts of fabrics to keep sun off the body. It must be much nicer being a vampire now than in the past.”
― Nancy Warren, The Vampire Knitting Club
Lucy Swift is at a cross roads in her life so travels to Oxford in England to visit her Grandmother in her grandmothers wool shop, only to be told her Grandmother has died... if that's the case why is she stood in the wool shop, and why is she hosting a knitting club for the undead.

Review by Mod E
Imagine the most Oregon romance you could possibly think of, and then multiply it by five and you’re close to what’s in here. There’s a food truck, an organic farmer, hippie moms organizing harvest festivals, an unironic use of the phrase “earth mother”, yoga, pretentious cat names, and Greek food presented as something wild and crazy. I paired this with a delicious Oregon rosé, which was the best thing about this book.
Genre/Category: Contemporary Oregonian
Major Trope: Out of her league
Is He An Ass? Him? No, actually! Her? Yes. At one point she’s on a date with a militant vegan who she makes fun of and I was on board until it’s revealed his food habits are due to medical issues. And near the end of the book, the heroine decides not to be jealous of one of the hero’s employees because the employee is a lesbian. Just...no, that’s not how trust works.
Smut? Ice Cold. There’s barely even any kissing, and the fade the blacks are more like a door slammed in your face. Nothing even remotely sexy happens until 70% of the way in.
Other thoughts? The tomato descriptions in here are fab and made me hungry. The over-the-top descriptions of the hero’s beauty got ridiculous after a while and began to feel really fetishized. There’s at least one instance of the word “swarthy” to describe a minor character’s complexion. Oregon, your roots are showing.
Final Grade? Meh

I finished the Vampire Book Club yesterday and I'm listening to the 2nd book, Chapter and Curse. I'm about 25% of the way into it.
I'm enjoying it so far. It's nice that the Protagonist in this series is an older women. I did get book envy as she was talking about some donations that came into her book store including several 1st editions.
