We really need a “does the dog die” website for books, because I always want to know the same thing! I hate when authors kill off dogs. In part, this is simply because I hate reading about dogs dying, but it’s also because so often is just seems like a plot-irrelevant ploy to try to make the reader feel something.

Glow in the dark vampires sounds like a Party City trinket so no, that is not scary. Or maybe I’m picturing it wrong but no. Now I’m just thinking raver vampires

I am sensitive to tooth-ripping and face-shoot-offing so I think I will skip this one. My husband, however, seems to be immune, for better or worse. He would probably like this one so I had better let him know.

I think vampires with wings might be scarier because if they are chasing you then you have less of a chance to escape. Glow in the dark vampires seem like they would be advantage human because you’d know immediately that there is a vampire coming at you.

Eecks I want to read this book but also I think I am one of those people that doesn’t do so well with tooth-ripping face-shoot-offing butttt I might give it a try anyway? Glowing vampires seems too blah – like, they might as well just sparkle. Makes them more conspicuous. Which makes the shape-shifting ones seem scariest!

I’ll second the list of books by authors of color featuring mythic creatures!

I don’t think this book is for me, but I have to say that, aside from the fact that almost all vampires are scary, glow-in-the-dark vampires sound pretty cool to me. Most scariest goes to shapeshifting vampires, because how could you ever really kill them? As soon as you aim the stake or bullet or whatever (it’s been a while since I read Dracula), the vampire could just shapeshift and the heart would be in a different place. (Now I’m off to see if my library has Iron Cast. (I have already borrowed Monstress.))

Totally sounds like my kinda book! I’m a big fan of the vamps, a big fan of urban fantasy, and have read so much fanfiction (and horror novels) by this point that no amount of gore is going to stop me, really, lol! XD

I didn’t read this whole post. I read the spoiler though and I’m glad the dog is not dead. I have already blocked out the scene in High Dive that I didn’t want to read and if you ask me such a question abt the dogs, I honestly cannot remember how it played out. Which may or may not convince you to not read High Dive? sorry.

I agree with Heather that flying vampires are scary, but shapeshifters would be the scariest ever, because you’d never know who they were. Could be your brother. Could be your friend. And then you would turn your back. So yes, I have a vivid imagination for this stuff. Faces getting shot off is too much for me.
