Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey
5.0
Unlike any other vampire romance novel out there, Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side puts a new spin on the world of vampirism. Jessica Packwood has known all her life she's been adopted as her parents never hid this family fact from her. As anthropologists, the Packwoods were studying in Romania when it was most crucial for the young Jessica to be taken out of the country as fast as possible. Jessica's birth parents wanted a better future for their daughter and begged the Packwoods to take their only child back to America to live a happy, normal life. Little did Jessica know, a normal life would be much more difficult than she imagined.
As Jessica grows to be a teenager, a mysterious but attractive young man from her past comes to barge into her life, only to reveal the absolute truth about her Romanian family lineage: Jessica's a vampire princess. She was destined to marry him, Lucius Vladescu, and they would rule, living happily ever after in Romania. Jessica is confused and taken aback as she can't truly believe she's a vampire, or even a royal vampire princess for that matter. Throughout the novel, she goes through the struggle of understanding her past and accepting it. She becomes conflicted as to whether she is falling in love with Lucius or trying to fight off his every effort to woo her.
Told by Jessica through a narrative and Lucius through letters he writes to his uncle, the undead attraction between the two teenagers rides a rollercoaster of emotions. Will Jessica be able to make the transition from a regular American teen to a Romanian vampire princess? You have to read each page and the lines in between to experience the trials and tribulations Jessica faces as she must decide to stay who she was or who she has always been destined to be.
