So....hmmm... I'm a bit conflicted about this book. First of all I'm a 38 year old mother of three and I found this book hilarious, especially the smart assed mouth of the main, dare I say it, heroine, Gina Covello. Secondly, I have exactly nothing in common with any character in the book. Not Gina, Bobby, nor the myriad of other teens roaming it's pages. But, the book was well written, the plot was solid, and the characters were monstrous. Not because they were vampires. No, they were monstrous because they were that most dreaded thing of all....teenagers. Now as much as i liked this story and it's characters the teen thing did grate on my nerves every now and then. I wanted to smack them and tell them to get over themselves, the world does not revolve around you! Oh, I'm sorry I forget myself, when you are a teen ager it most certainly does revolve around you! I had a quibble with how quickly Gina fell for Bobby but then I remembered the fickle nature of the teen heart and got over myself. Most of the time I can forget the YA nature of a book and just enjoy the story but this is definitely a YA book albeit a fun one. So if you are looking for a fun, breezy way to pass a couple of hours. You like vampires, teens, and drama. Vamped is one you will enjoy. I certainly did and I look forward to Revamped coming next year. If you want to check out more about the book and the author pop on over to Lucienne Diver's website Here.
