dnielsen 's review for:
High Stakes
by Brandy Schillace
I received a copy of this book in exchange for a positive review.
An enjoyable, fast read, High Stakes, introduces us to Jacob Maresbeth, his sister Lizzy, Aunt Syl, and an attractive Hungarian graduate student Zsofia. The relationship between the two siblings is just as important to the novel as is Jacob's "disease," and the way that Schillace builds to the climax makes the final pages that much more interesting. I'm intrigued by introducing the vampirism as a disease, making it more a part of Jacob than what he is. Appropriate for a middle school reading audience.
