In this Young Adult novel, Literary Agent, Lucianne Diver makes her debut as a YA author. Her character Gina, is a seventeen year old high school diva made vampire who laments about her lack of reflection and finds herself caught up in a Vampire Coup gone bad. Her maker and would be boyfriend, Bobby, former chess club geek gone sheik just happens to be some super vamp and the "powers that be" want to use him for all kinds of evil. Finding herself, in the midst of this chaos, the vapid Gina finds her soul, so to speak. A series in the making, I look forward to getting to know the main characters more as the second book has been approved by the Publisher.
As this book was written for teens, and I am not one...I found it hard to identify or even care about the main character. However, I feel that was the author's plan all along and I am looking forward to the growth of Gina as she morphs from your stereotypical self obsessed teen to someone who cares and in turn makes me care about what happens to her.
This series has definite promise and I recommend this book to all vamp enthusiasts of all ages.

I really , really wanted to like this book, but something was just... off. The book opens up with our main character, Gina, clawing her way out of her coffin, realizing she is now a vampire. Then we meet her sire, who was a former chess geek and is now her... boyfriend????
I found Gina to be self centered and downright annoying. We as readers get no real chance to get to know Gina, or any of the other characters for that matter. It almost feels like we missed an entire prequel. The scenes jumped around quite a bit and I often found myself lost.
After about 100 pages of this nonsence, I just gave up on it because I just didnt care what happened to her anymore. I will not be following this series. If it were possible, Id give it 0 stars.
