ReVamped, is the second book in the Vamped series written by Lucienne Diver..
The first book leaves us at the end of an epic battle against Mellie and the infamous Vampire Council.
Where do we now find Gina, Bobby and Rick? In a debriefing room...now working with the FBI. Hey why not work with the good guys, right?
They have been given an assignment. They will be sent back to high school to find out what is happening to the kids in the small town of Wappinger Falls. The kids there are showing strange behavior and some are even disappearing without a trace. Rick will go to the Jocks and Bobby to the Brains posing as fraternal twins. The Fed Agents Maya and Sid will pose as their parents. Gina on the other hand will go Goth on her own. No parents and will have her own apartment Beauty Queen to Goth Chick. Gina to Geneva. Can she do it?
The story line is an interesting one. Gina and Bobby are supplied with blood from the Feds that allow them to walk in daylight, which makes their cover that much more believable.
FYI - an interesting historic figure comes into the picture as an old vampire and he is featured in an animated movie that is a favorite of mine. Hint - John Cusack and Meg Ryan lend their voices
This, like Vamped, is a quick read full of amusing quotes and references. Gina definitely likes to use them along with nicknames.
Some quotes and references
"Roommate wanted. Free rent in exchange for bloodletting. Apply with photo and sample."
"She looked like an escapee from a 1970's Nick at Night rerun."
"She drove like a bat out of thrift-store hell."
"It was totally a gaggle of geeks, a nest of nerds, a dollop of dweebs."
"He had almost a bluesy voice, the kind that sounded like it was just about to give out. Rough, like like a hundred miles of bad road, and low like low-rise jeans."
Some of Gina's nicknames
Rick-the-Rat, Agent Stuffed Shirt, Agent Stick-Up-Her-Butt, Prickly Princess, Raspy, Psycho Psychic
A fun read, give it a bite and I would love to hear what you think!
