Book - Vamped (Lucienne Diver)

Vamped...written by Lucienne Diver                                    

Reasons I picked up Vamped.
It is a small book, in number of pages and the actual size itself.
Borders was closing and it caught my eye..

A quick read and decent book...it's a good choice for the Buffy/high school prom queen in you.
This book is also full of teen slang which did make me giggle a lot.

Gina Covello, is the popular girl and in her own words, "Every girl wants to be me and every guy wants my digits".

Gina screams, kicks and digs her way out of a coffin buried in the town cemetery. She is a Vamp!
Bobby, the math geek comes looking for her carrying a bag of clothes, shoes and jewelry.
She sees him and memories start to come back. She made out with him at the after prom party.
She also remembers being with her prom date, Chaz, later on that night and his car being run off the road.
She was a Vamp and Bobby made her!

Gina's princess side comes out when she realizes she can not see herself in the mirror and tells Bobby they need to turn her hair dresser, Shirl. That only results in scaring Shirl off as she closing up the salon and them running into a group of people they had not seen before...well except for their classmate Rick. It's at this point that they come to realize that they are not the only Vamps in town. Fellow classmates were also dealing with the same fate.
This was the work of Bobby's maker. Bobby had been out celebrating a Math meet win and met a girl.
He had no idea what her name was or where she was from. He spent the night with her and she turned him. He had been hiding the fact that he was a vamp until that night in the cemetery with Gina.

Gina and Bobby find out all these deaths were the result of this mysterious Girl, Mellisande. She was making an army. Why? Gina and Bobby eventually end up coming face to face with Mellisande and their classmates and the (vampire) Council.

Gina shunned at first steps up to be a leader....Bobby is special with strange abilities....and a battle is brewing with the Council and Mellisande (not on the same side)..
So, take a bite out of this book!
Tell me what you think?

I am starting the second book (Revamped)in the series of 3 books.

Book - Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter

I had heard from a lot of people this was a good book. Even from those non-vampire fans.

Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter written by Seth Grahame-Smith  

What an interesting look at his life! There are many historic figures and events included where you can see how this could be feasible. There are some points where I am shocked by how well written and believable this book seems.

I was impressed and I think this is worthy of a re-read!

I would love to go into further detail. I would love to tell you the events and the historic figures that put me in awe, but I can't ruin the story for you.

The story does start with Abe's childhood...the many losses he endured...his knack at storytelling (thanks to his father), his many workable talents, his loves, his friends, his colleagues, the politics leading up to his presidency, his presidency, his assassination....and maybe some  *clear throat* extra curricular activities. Any thoughts as to what this was?

Read it and Let's talk!!!
Ohhh and there is a movie coming out in JUNE!!

Take a Bite and read Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter
