"An excellent young adult paranormal!"

I've been a fan of Julie Kenner's for years now and since I have teenaged daughters I knew I just had to check out her Young Adult Vampire book. What a total hoot this book is. She has teenage girls down to a science and believe me I know!

Beth Frasier only wants to get some extracurricular activity to put on her transcript so she is eligible for a scholarship. She has the grades no problem. After all she is only in competition for the valedictorian of her class with one other person and that's Clayton Greene.

She's bummed to find out that she didn't make the step team but when head cheerleader Tamara tells Beth that she wants her for the cheerleading squad, Beth know something is way wrong. Tamara tells Beth to meet the squad on the football field that evening. Beth never would have gone if she'd known what was going to happen. Basically she woke up dead and extremely angry. Now she's out for revenge. Woe be unto Stephen Wills, the hunky guy who did this to her.

If you are a young adult and are into vampires, this is definitely the book for you. Shoot, I'm not a young adult and I totally enjoyed this kicky book. I only had one problem and that is I'm just so impatient for the next book in the series!!! I'll be recommending this one to my daughter who also has a love of reading good books!

Summary

The bestselling author of Carpe Demon takes a bite out of high school in this bloodsucking blast.

Elizabeth Frasier's ticked off. Her junior year of high school was going just fine. But thanks to a bunch of jerkwad vampire jocks, she ended up undead, and with a thirst that a thousand Diet Cokes couldn't quench. Now she's out for blood—and revenge. And she knows exactly what to do...Elizabeth's read Salem's Lot. Separate the good vamps from the bad and wipe out the crowd that did her in. On top of that, she's got to figure out how to be mortal again—unless universities start accepting dead girls.
