The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant by Drew Hayes

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Poor Fred was your stereotypical nerd - a bit on the cowardly side, no real social skills, liked to be left alone and play with numbers. But then he became a vampire, which really didn't change much for him. He was still nerdy, cowardly (to the point where he used blood bank blood so he wouldn't have to fight or attack anyone), socially awkward and liked his job as an accountant.

But when he decided to be brave and go to his high school reunion, despite his condition, life got interesting. Regardless of what he wanted, he found himself having to be the vampire. And in the end he got a girl, an assistant and a group of friends.

I enjoyed this book and found myself both laughing at/with as well as sympathizing with poor Fred. I do believe I will be looking to continue with this series.
