Just good fun

This was a delight fun read, with a likable heroine and tightly paced action. It was everything I wanted in some light summer reading: humor, warmth, and evil cheerleaders.

From the author!

Hey folks! I just wanted to let you know that I'm actually podcasting this book (but, you know, you should still buy it!). But tell your friends! Tell teens! Tell your neighbor across the street! And hop over to [...] to learn more.

Pure enjoyment!!!

These books are pure fast moving enjoyment. We had a lot of dun reading them and are impatiently waiting for the next book. I would recommend these books to anyone who enjoys reading Sci-Fi Fantasy.

Vampy fun!

I'm a fan of Julie Kenner's books, so I was happy when I saw she wrote a teen book. I wasn't the least bit disappointed in this book, considering it's target is the teen audience and I'm an adult. I think all teens and even adults will enjoy reading this fun and cute tale of a geeky and unpopular girl named Beth turning into a vampire on her 16th birthday. I cant wait for the sequel! My recommendations along with this: Braced2Bite, Fangs 4 Freaks and Dating4Demons all by Serena Robar Boys That Bite and Stake That! by Mari Mancusi

Stellar!

Elizabeth "Beth" Frasier has a totally dysfunctional family. Her mother is a lawyer. Her father is a doctor. You would think having successful, well-to-do parents is a GOOD thing. On the contrary, it means they have ZERO time for her. Before they got divorced six months ago, all Beth's parents did was fight and their grumpiness was hard to deal with. Now, the parents are still the exact same way. The only difference is that they live in separate places. However, their indifference toward Beth comes in handy on her sixteenth birthday though. (Yes, Beth's dad forgot all about her Sweet Sixteenth birthday! As for Beth's mom, she simply had her secretary order a gift certificate to a book store and then ending up giving it to Beth a day late!) But this means that neither parent even noticed that Beth never came home that night ... or that Beth had become a vampire! Beth has a major crush on Stephen Wills, the high school's star football player. So Beth is thrilled when Stephen suddenly seems to take interest in her. Beth never expects Stephen to kill her or turn her into a vampire! But Stephen has a task that only Beth can do. After all, Beth is smart! She's valedictorian. But all Beth wants is revenge against Stephen and the "popular girls" who lured her into Stephen's clutches. Beth's best friend, Jenny, is on her side. So is Clayton, after he failed to stake her. According to Clayton, Beth can get her life back if she kills her "Creator" (A.K.A. her Master). Problem is that a vampire cant' stake their Master. And once Beth drinks from a living person, she `s doomed for eternity. Should that happen, Clayton and his grandpa would be gunning for her again. Worse, college aged vampire hunters are in the immediate area. What's an undead girl supposed to do? ***** I have not had this much fun with a teen book in a looong time! Beth is not only smart, but she is witty and filled with sass! Her friends are the same, but Beth just has it all in spades! The story is go great that I did not want it to end. So I am thrilled to find that there will be a second novel in this series. Don't worry, this book will NOT leave you hanging. It is fun watching Beth and her friends get even with Stephen and the cheerleaders, as well as, against the various other popular kids who got her turned into a vampire. But the author, Julie Kenner, is a Master at story telling! Again, the ending does not leave you hanging, but it does set up a problem that will obviously have to be handled in a part two. "Buffy" and "Firefly", move over! There is a new show in town. STELLAR! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.
