About this audiobook
Undead and vegan? Not the afterlife this girl had planned.
Waking up thin is one thing. But waking up gaunt, hangry, and undead makes for a very bad day. Mallory's killer better hide, because she's just discovered blood, meat, and dairy don't agree with her, and a future with no cheese is grim indeed. She's out to find her killer . . . and maybe a vegan cheese that doesn't melt her nose hairs.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Despite the rather plentiful meh reviews this book has gotten, I had a lot of fun reading it. It is light-hearted, quirky and with a bit of a different take on the vampire transformation. Mallory seems to be the kind of girl that has it all, but nothing at the same time. She owns a fancy Audi sports car and a nice apartment downtown, but has to slog through a job she detests out of a huge fear of ending up homeless.
Worse, she has a really hard time forming friendships with her neighbors and coworkers even though not all of them are bad people. And so she does things she doesn't really like to do with the hope that people will start to like her.
Everything goes to hell when she blacks out after having two drinks and wakes up in her condo with a sickly thin body and no memories of what happened that night. And so she begins a self-journey to find people that can help her and solve the mystery.
Now, I like Mallory and feel guilty of identifying with her at times. She isn't evil, but she overthinks about her own personal problems and has a real hard time acting amicable towards other people. And so people that don't know her think she is rude and cause an endless cycle of rejection that makes her feel even worse. Mallory is definitely not a Mary Sue, but as she befriends a guy named Alex that seems to know a lot about what happened to her, she starts to open up more, create healthy boundaries and people for once start to like her for the first time ever. Heck, she is also quite brave!
Typos are not abundant in the book, but I do feel like the prose would have been better if an editor had helped "clean up" some of the more confusing paragraphs that are too wordy. The beginning of the book makes you falsely assume Mallory is poor and yet she drives a fancy sports car. Huh? It isn't even a used one, it's a brand new car! The scenes of the final battle gets a bit confusing too.
I also felt the book didn't really up the stakes towards the finale. You feel like you are in the middle of the novel and then BAM! final battle erupts with no warning. This book suffers from the syndrome of "don't tell the MC about lots of important general knowledge everyone is supposed to know." Yup, just like the Harry Potter books, Mallory isn't fed very reliable information about what happened to her from the people that are supposed to know and then act all surprised she freaks out when something completely preventable happens to her. I think that is the only thing I didn't like about the book.
However, I enjoyed the book and would enjoy reading the sequels sometime. Very cute read. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So so good
I absolutely loved this book. It was such a nice fresh blow of air into the vampire genre. The main characters were good and I really liked how fast-paced this book was. I will definitely read the more books in the series. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Adventures of a Vegan Vamp: A Paranormal Cozy Mystery (Vegan Vamp Mysteries Book 1) by Cate LawleyThe story moves at a fast pace, with an original plot and very likable character (Mallory). This is not an ordinary vampire story. Told through Mallory's voice, one day she wakes up and finds she is not the same. On a mission to find the vampire who killed and turned her, turns out to be a delightful read. I highly recommend to those who love a good vampire story.
