The undead can really screw up your senior year . . . Marrying
a vampire definitely doesnt fit into Jessica Packwoods senior year
get-a-life plan. But then a bizarre (and incredibly hot) new exchange
student named Lucius Vladescu shows up, claiming that Jessica is a
Romanian vampire princess by birthand hes her long-lost fiancÃ©. Armed
with newfound confidence and a copy of Growing Up Undead: A Teen
Vampires Guide to Dating, Health, and Emotions, Jessica makes a
dramatic transition from average American teenager to glam European
vampire princess. But when a devious cheerleader sets her sights on
Lucius, Jess finds herself fighting to win back her wayward prince,
stop a global vampire warand save Luciuss soul from eternal
destruction.

Yes,
another vampire novel! But luckily we have some creative authors out
there like Fantaskey who keep coming up with unique story lines like
this one. There is no beating around the bush here Jessica finds out
right away exactly why Lucius (I just love that name if only I were
having more kids) has come to find her...she's a vampire princess.
Yikes! That would freak any teenage girl out! I like that Jess is just
your average American girl with yes, I dare say curves and she's
definately her own person and not afraid to clean up some horse poo. Of
course we have the classic love triangle but again the author plays
this out differently than most and there are even a few twists in the
end. Fans of vampire books and romance fiction will absolutely enjoy!
