So, the description of this book's plot on the back cover (and on this Goodreads page) is pretty misleading. It makes it seem like these two vampires with their mutual loathing of one another are the main characters, when in fact they aren't introduced in earnest until two thirds of the way through the book, and their motivations and backstory are clearly supposed to be a twist of some kind.
The main characters are actually just humans - There is Mary, a good Christian girl that's pretty in a plain way who says "God is a woman" unironically, and is recovering from a difficult breakup. Then there is Steve, a depressed, square yuppie whose knee hurts, and is recovering from a difficult breakup. They are joined by Fred, a chill priest who can hang; and Smith, an asshole.
Together, they make multiple incompetent attempts at slaying the aforementioned vampires, and then the book just sort of ends.
The author is pretty good at creating a gloomy Gothic atmosphere of decay and chilly darkness, and the Pacific Northwest setting is nicely evocative, but there's otherwise not much to recommend here.
