cathyp72 's review for:
Mina and the Undead
by Amy McCaw
This tale of vampires, family, love and revenge in the New Orleans of the mid 1990s was well written, with interesting characters and a good pace. The background plotline of their missing, vampire obsessed mother links well with the main story of murder and vampires. Each of the characters is interesting, even the minor ones, and there are twists and turns aplenty. It all works and it feels left open in such away that there could be a sequel. I personally loved all the 1990s pop references, i don't think it matters if a few aren't recognised by YA readers, most will be known to vampire fiction/film fans and it doesn't affect the story. It has a great feel overall and the feel of old New Orleans works extremely well. A really enjoyable gothic horror for older teens/YA.
