Not sure what just happened here. The snippet of chapters flitted back and forth between POV, sometimes in the middle of a fight scene or car crash or whatever. Mildly distracting to say the least. Like switching body-cams in an episode of COPS.
A few were organic enough - flit to the POV of someone in an alternate dimension, a different city, yep, that's when you switch POV, and carefully at best, making sure it adds to the story somehow.
Overall, after reading it, I felt like it could have been done in a few chapters as a short, maybe a treatment for a Buffy screenplay, or something similar.
I don't mind having to grow into a mythology, heck, I did that in my own fiction novel, so that's not a problem. I mean the mythology being handed out in bits and pieces, hints and chunks held tantalizingly just out of reach. So that was one good thing, and why it's a 4, not a 3.
The characters seemed a little bit cardboard. Maybe a bit more time developing rather than expositing on this? Is that a word?
Anyway, I think a younger audience, used to TV paranormal, might appreciate this a lot more than this old dude did. So if that's you, by all means, read it and make your own opinion. YMMV.

Survivors
I really enjoyed this book, plenty of action and suspense as the girls work together to survive. I loved the baby girl . This would be an excellent thriller movie. 2 Thumbs up!!

Good story
A fast developing story that held my interest with no problem. Character development was on point. I will definitely read the next installment

Great book!
I thought this book was very well written. The characters and interactions between the four sisters was right on. I will definitely keep watching for Jeanette Raleigh's books.

Great book
I loved the family dynamic, and how true to forme a good one parent house hold is. I love how the sisters got past the vampires. I hope to read the next book soon.

Wow...just Wow!
Enjoyed this from the first page to the last and I want more! Characters have a real depth and sisters that are relatable! Siblings have that unique relationship where you want to throttle them but at the same time will protect them fiercely! This was captured perfectly while entertaining with a story well thought out and beautifully written!

Decent read
I will probably read the sequel if I come across it, but I am not seeking it out. The book felt like it just needed more.. I cannot explain without spoilers.
