Whoa...that's a twist. And one way to cure cancer. Compelling. Made me cry. And I'm dying to know what comes next.

An adult-version of Julie Kenner's Ghouls series.

I know I read all of these ten years ago, but this one I barely remembered. It's fine, there's the intro of Ash (one of my faves), but this one doesn't resonate like some of the others.

I know this is a 90s vampire book, but it has been awhile since I picked up a vampire book that I thought I would give this one a try. Again, it seems a little young for me (15 year old me would have loved this book). It was a fast and easy read, but enjoyable. I love the fact that it was a pretty short book (238 pages). It kept me interested the entire time. I might pick up the next book in the series sometime in the future.

It's not my typical book, but I have to admit I enjoyed this book as an introduction and the fact that the author actually explored her illness and transforming process. Also the fact that there is no sex or explicit scenes, just friendship, trust and love gives this book a plus star! I am looking forward to read more.

Freakin good. It's kind of meant for sixth graders (I think). Night world in general was the best thing that happened to me in middle school, I'm now re-reading the series for nostalgia. You should read it minding the target audience, and if you do, it's wonderful.
