LOL, what did I just read?

No but for real, this was YA for the 90s, and it shows (and it should). It's the the greatest YA paranormal romance history lesson. I should have known better. It was previously titled "Secret Vampire" and that cover is grrrrrreat. If you need something fast, something fun, and something that shouldn't be taken seriously, read this.

I understand now how the Vampire Diaries (same author) was made into a TV show.

I bought this for a trip to Alabama and then didn't even touch it...but that aside, it was pretty decent. It's by the same author as Vampire Diaries so the writing style is the same so it flows and the plot moves quickly. I like these books more then those like Twilight, there is a bit of depth to them. It's a decent book so I'll move on to the second.
