The undead can really
screw up your senior year . . .
Marrying a vampire definitely doesn't fit in to 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 Dead: 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 Jessica has never even been kissed - how can she possibly commit herself to a long-term relationship? Or an eternal relationship, for that matter?
What I thought
Great book! I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it kept me entranced from start to finish. I will admit, I am quite a big fan of books like these, and this one had everything I enjoy about these certain books. There was humour, wit, passion, anger, and it just drew me in.
I am definitely a fan of Lucius now lol.
Top Reviews
Publishers Weekly, starred review - "This first novel quickly bursts ahead of the pack of Twilight-wannabes . . . . The romance sizzles, the plot develops ingeniously and suspensefully, and the satire sings."
The Bulletin - "Jessica evolves nicely with each new shocking revelation, becoming, over the course of the novel, an intriguing and strong protagonist . . . romance buffs will find the ultimate pairing of Lucius and Jessica absolutely irresistible, and it's downright swoonworthy once their elaborate courting ritual begins in earnest."
