Kristen Painter’s First Fangs Club is a five-book paranormal comedy series published between 2020 and 2022. The series kicks off with Sucks To Be Me, and the playful titles continue with Suck It Up, Buttercup, Sucker Punch, The Suck Stops Here, and Embrace the Suck. The books follow a woman who finds herself accidentally turned into a vampire and must learn the ins and outs of undead life.
Painter leans into comedy with this series, using the vampire premise as a vehicle for humor rather than horror. The tone is light and fun, with the protagonist’s adjustment to her new existence providing most of the laughs. Readers who enjoy paranormal fiction with a comedic edge, similar to authors like MaryJanice Davidson or Molly Harper, will find the First Fangs Club right up their alley.
