Boys that Bite by Mari Mancusi
5.0
Boys that Bite the first novel in the Blood Coven Vampires series by Mari Mancusi is a great book for teen vampire lovers. The book follows Sunny who gets turned into a vampire mistakenly (the vampire meant to turn her twin sister Rayne). Magnus, the sexy vampire that bit her pledges to help her turn back. While waiting for answers Sunny deals with the symptoms of turning into a vampire (vampire attraction and her hunger for blood) and gets to know Magnus better.
This is a great book that doesn't take itself seriously. It takes jabs at everything from Buffy The Vampire Slayer to Indiana Jones. It has a nice romance and is a really quick read.
Appropriateness: This is a novel that's appropriate for the entire young adult audience (although it would appeal to the middle school audience more). There is no sex or drugs or violence.. Sunny drinks "wine" (although it's really blood) and she lies to her mother and sneaks out of the country. There is quite a bit of kissing which might turn off very young readers. The lexile for this book is 740 putting it at a mid fourth grade level.
