| OMG ANOTHER TEEN VAMPIRE BOOK. THIS IS TRULY BREAKING LITERARY GROUND. |
Like Twilight but less annoying. Well, not significantly less, but at least this book was funny.
Pretty much the same plot as Twilight. Vampire boy, unsuspecting, critical human girl meet and fall in mutual stupidity that authors call "love." Okay, maybe that's a little cynical, but the love felt a little too forced. They're supposed to be engaged to be married by some Elders who live in Romania. Now that I think about it, this book does seem like a combination of Twilight and The Historian. Weird.
And the leading man's name was Lucius. So I immediately thought "Malfoy." Which made me think "Harry." It was very distracting.
I can't say any more without ruining the plot, but I can say that Jessica's friend Mindy was definitely my favorite character. She said the funniest shit I've ever read. Seriously. Allow me to show you an example:
Lucius: “Jessica. For god's sake. Allow me to do at least one common courtesy for you. In spite of what 'women's lib' teaches you, chivalry does not imply that women are powerless.On the contrary, chivalry is an admission of women's superiority. An acknowledgment of your power over us. This is the only form of servitude a Vladescu ever practices, and I perform it gladly for you. You, in turn, are obligated to accept graciously.”
Mindy: “I have no idea what that meant, but it was, like, the hottest thing anyone ever said.”
I laughed so hard.
