This is probably one of the better vampire books that I have read in a long time. It was super good and it kept me totally intrigued and kept me wanting more. I like how this book didn't have your stereotypes that you think a vampire should be like. Vlad was a great guy character and I know that is why a lot of the boys at my school like this book...very relate-able. Might read on in the series at a later time.

On a side note, I met Heather Brewer and she was super nice!

I really did not like this book. I normally love books with any supernatural theme to them, but Brewer's book could not give me any sort of feeling other than boredom. I didn't even finish it.

This book was about a young 13 year old halfblood (half human/ half vampire) who's name is Vladimir Tod. He was stereotypically a goth. This whole book resolved around Vlad going to school and trying to learn more about his parents mysterically disappearing/dying. It was an okay book, it was my favorite among vampire tales, but it was an okay read.

I think this first book shows great potential for the rest of the series. It was a little to predictable but the characters were quick and easy to fall in love with. It had some funny parts too. I like Vlad so I'm gonna read the rest and hope they are fantastic!

This was a fun, spooky, and entertaining read!
I don't know when I'll dive into the rest of the series
considering I have ARC's waiting to be read but hopefully soon!
I'd say if you love the original "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and
the TV series "My babysitter's a Vampire" then you'll enjoy this.
I also really love Heather's writing, it's fast and she knows how
to tell a good story without throwing the boring bits in your face.
Loved it.
