Vamped by Lucienne Diver


Summary:
Gina Covello is THAT girl who is pretty, popular, and has the hottest boy in school wrapped around her finger. That is until Prom when she finds herself in a closet making out with Bobby Delvecchio chess club geek turned sheik. Next thing you know Gina wakes up in her coffin six feet under the ground with a horrid dress she wore in elementary school and no reflection. Later, she finds out she was vamped by YES Bobby Delvecchio, who turns out to have all sorts of extra super vampire abilities that are very valuable to The Council. Gina finds herself fighting for her undead life but also her NEW charming boyfriend Bobby.

My Opinion:
"Vamped" is a quick sarcastic funny read! My best comparison is Buffy meets Gossip Girl. At first the book comes off with no substance but after a few pages the plot starts to thicken. Even though the storyline is a typical vampire plot the witty vampire humor is what keeps readers interested. The book is great for reluctant readers but like most "Gossip Girl" books there's not much depth. I don't have much to say about "Vamped" it was a good little read and the only award the book may win will be for its humor.

Lucienne Diver plans to make a series out of "Vamped", but nothing has been released yet! So look out for the sequel!
