I swear, my life was always totally normal.
Normal house, normal family, normal school. My looks are average, I don't have any superpowers, no one's showing up to tell me I'm a princess—you get the picture. But when my junior year started, something not normal happened. There were new kids at school . . . new kids with a wardrobe straight out of a 19th-century romance novel, and an inexplicable desire to stay at school until sundown.
And on top of that, James Hallowell showed up. James, who stole my sandwiches in fourth grade and teased me mercilessly through middle school. James, who now seems to have the power to make my heart race any time he comes near.
But something weird is going on. Because James rarely goes out during the day. And he seems stronger than your typical guy. And he knows the new kids, all of whom seem to be harboring some kind of deep secret. . . . (quoted by Goodreads).
Vampire Crush is a fun, quick, enjoyable read. This debut book is nothing that I thought it would be and I enjoyed that element of surprise. It has a cast of great characters, an indulging plot and brings to the table a mix of charm, wit and sarcasm all rolled together. What makes this book so much fun is it's narration. It's hilarious and at times laugh out loud funny, especially when Sophie makes a comment about what she thinks vampires should do- sparkle in the sun, be invited into the house and so on.
