The first book in Hallaways new Vampire Princess series introduces us to Anastasija Parker, a somewhat geeky high school student with a penchant for the drama club, who at her 16th birthday will find that her absentee dad isnt the deadbeat her mother told her he was. She also finds out that shes not a true witch like her mother and is quite possibly, more like her father a vampire king.
Now her mother and father are fighting over what her destiny will be and shes got two boys with crushes on her one a witch and one a vampire. And then theres the strange behavior shes starting to exhibit at school.
How will she choose?
Once again, I really enjoyed this book by Hallaway. Her characters are quirky, fun and struggle with the answers. It didnt hurt that the story is set at a fictional high school in St Paul that closely resembles Central High School and the setting is in the St Paul area and since thats where I live, it was fun to imagine this all happening around my neighborhood.

I don't typically read young adult books, but am glad I picked this one up! I enjoyed the story very much, looking forward to the next book in series.

What a quick fun read! I really liked pretty much all of the characters in this. It flowed very nicely, had me giggling in parts and made me a fan of Ana. Yes there were some similarities between this and some other YA vampire books but it was done in a fun way.
I recommend this :)
