Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Megan Howell

The undead can really screw up your senior year . . .
Marrying a
vampire definitely doesn't fit into Jessica Packwood's 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 birth--and he's her long-lost fiance.
Armed with newfound confidence and a copy of Growing Up Undead: A Teen
Vampire's 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 war--and save Lucius's soul from eternal
destruction.

When I first finished this book I was not
impressed - at first. This was a book I had to think back on. After a
few days, I found I really did like the book. Fantaskey created an
original vampire story. Every single character in this story was
amazingly developed.

Jessica is a unique character for me.
Normally you don't find girls in vampire stories like her. Which is
something I love. Yet again, she's such a detailed character that you
feel like she's a real person by the end of the book. Her parents are
hilarious.

This book took me on an emotional roller coaster
ride. Thanks to Lucius, I had to keep reminding myself that it wasn't
my book so I wouldn't throw it across my room. This book will make you
mad. So if you just like the books that are simply read for enjoyment
with almost no emotional involvement... don't pick this up. You will
get tied up into it.
