"Christmas wont 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.

"Growing up, I never much cared for <i>Little Women</i>, but I thought surely a re imagining with vampires I could get behind. Sadly, I was wrong.<br/>Perhaps it was that the story was just too much like it's original, or that too much was removed in this abridged version, but I just could not fall in love with the characters. It felt as though everything was too rushed to trigger any emotion from me. Oftentimes, I found it farcical, like it was trying to make fun of, rather than be an homage to its source material. Maybe it was, and I misinterpreted the intent, but it felt distinctly different from other books in this genre, like <i> Pride and Prejudice and Zombies </i> or <i> Android Karenina </i>. Alas, it also does not incline me to read any more by Lynn Messina."
