Confessions of a Vampire's Girlfriend by Katie MacAlister
5.0
Honestly, this is teen vampire love done right.
I've read tons of Katie Macalister's books and I adore them. And in my time I read lots of angsty teenage paranormals. And in my head I just didn't see how to connect the two. By now, the thought of long dead men falling for sixteen year old girls gives me the heebie jeebies. And Macalister writes such sexy sexiness of sextopia, and how would THAT fit in with young adult land?
She made it all work though. A sexy Dark One who tries his best not to pressure her. A heroine goofy enough to be 16, but with plenty of self respect and independence. Make outs that go a little far, and some shared thoughts that make me really want to take a shower are the perfect sexiness for this age group. Not that I wasn't reading the good stuff at sixteen, I just don't want to read about a sixteen year old doing the good stuff.
Wonderfully done! And then the character development and growing up done between these and In the Company of Vampires is really well done and a lot like some other very stubborn self righteously independent teenagers I know who grew and became independent somewhat less stubborn learned to pick their battles women I know.
