Description

 

A haunting blend of Gothic horror, religious satire, and supernatural thriller, this is a bold, subversive story that pits faith against fangs in a battle for redemption.

Two young Mormon missionaries, Gabriel and Luke, wake up in their apartment, dazed, blood-soaked—and sprouting fangs. Loyal to their devotion they attempt to carry on their mission, but they quickly learn their newfound thirst isn't just metaphorical. Bound by blood to an ancient, manipulative vampire called Bishop, the boys are thrust into a spiritual crisis that threatens their faith, their morality, and the souls they vowed to save.

Each failed attempt to resist their monstrous urges pulls them deeper into a web of violence, seduction, and, at times, humorous, damnation. With Bishop's influence spreading across the small Oregon town like a plague, Gabriel and Luke must confront the seductive power of their transformation and make a harrowing choice: serve their new master and become harbingers of death or defy him—and risk eternal suffering to reclaim their morality.

This is a sharp, funny, and surprisingly dark spin on vampire fiction, following two Mormon missionaries who wake up blood‑soaked, fanged, and spiritually conflicted.

Let’s be honest here. Who doesn’t love vampires? Who doesn’t like vampire book? Well I do and I wasn’t disappointed by this one. An amazing story, with a great plot and characters out of this world (literally). A great enjoyable read that I highly recommend

Vampire Missionaries offers a refreshingly bold and subversive twist on vampire fiction, blending gothic horror, religious satire and supernatural thriller elements into a narrative challenge that challenged both faith and identity.
Rhodes does a great job of balancing dark, eerie moments with sharp, satirical edges, exploring how the characters navigate violence, desire and moral conflict while bound to the manipulative ancient vampire known as bishop. As his influence spreads though their small oregan tow, the protagonist face a harrowing choice: submit to their monstrous nature and serve a new master of definitely risk their souls to reclaim their sense of morality, a tension that keeps the narrative compelling and unpredictable.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing this ARC. 

This book was very interesting, but not exactly what I expected. I expected it to be a lot more funny since it was category as humor/satire on NetGalley. And it was funny at times, just not really as much as I expected. 

It did discuss some interesting ideas (vampires of different religions being hurt by different religious objects) and it did have an interesting storyline that kept me wanting to read until the end. 

I'm not quite sure how I feel about the ending though. I don't want to spoil anything, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the resolution.
