Narrator Julia Whelan draws out the most interesting facets of each character in this vampire story. Mel has lived in a town founded by vampires her whole life, but it's not until teen vampire Francis begins to attend her high school that Mel realizes how uncomfortable she is with living amongst the undead. As Mel fights to keep her friend Cathy from becoming a vampire, tries to ferret out her principal's dark secret, and struggles with feelings for a boy, Whelan keeps each character distinct. She uses varying cadences and succeeds with both British and French accents as needed. Young vampire lovers will be thoroughly entertained. J.M. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
Starred review from May 28, 2012
Larbalestier (Liar) and Brennan (the Demon’s Lexicon trilogy) affectionately poke fun at vampire tropes and, in the process, create a memorable story about love, prejudice, and the lengths to which people will go in service of both. High school
senior Mel Duan is not impressed when a 150-year old vampire (who looks like a teenager and talks like a 19th-century poet) enrolls in her school. Sure, New Whitby, Maine, is known for its large vampire population, but the vamps and humans keep to their own. Mel finds Francis merely annoying until her best friend Cathy falls for him and
decides to become a vampire herself, at which point Mel shifts into full-blown protective mode. This smart and entertaining novel—part Nancy Drew with vampires, part thoughtful and provocative story about assumptions—fully blooms in the second half. Themes of honest friendship and freedom of choice mix with zombies, accidental romance,
a diverse and complex cast, and sharply funny dialogue to create a thoroughly
enjoyable read with a core of unexpected depth. Ages 13–up. Agents: (for Larbalestier) Jill Grinberg, Jill Grinberg Literary Management; (for Brennan) Kristin Nelson, Nelson Literary Agency.
