Welcome to Week 1 of our first After Dark Book Club read — Blood Money: A Gangster Vampire Novel!
For this first discussion, let’s talk about your early impressions. If you’re ahead, please don’t spoil anything beyond the opening part of the book.
I want to hear from you:
* What was your first impression of Malik “Cash” Mercer? * Did the opening with Dre hook you? * What do you think is really happening beneath the streets of Brooklyn? * Which character has caught your attention so far? * Any theories about where the story is headed? * And most importantly: Would you keep reading if this wasn’t the book club selection? 😂 Be honest!
Since I wrote the book, this is also your chance to ask me anything about the opening of the story—the characters, Brooklyn setting, inspiration, writing choices, or details you noticed.
There are no “right” answers here. I want to know how the story hits you as a reader, because you might notice something completely different from what I intended when I wrote it.
🩸 Drop your thoughts below and reply to each other. Let’s get our first real After Dark discussion going!
