A teen vampire book about real vampires!

I love vampires and twists on the traditional vampire lore, but I'm skeptical about teenage vampires because, well, Twilight. I was thoroughly blown away by The Lost Girls. Real teenage problems--familial drama, betrayal, broken hearts! Real vampires--blood, murder, gore! The stakes are real, the outlook is grim, but even the undead can band together and redefine what family means. It's not a book for the squeamish, but it definitely is for lovers of all things supernatural who appreciate a good revenge tale. (

Rather meh. Not a terribly likable main character, although the vampires are a little more plausible than usual in personality. (Needing to eat people on a regular basis would mess with you quite a bit)
There is a subtext about emotional /memory/life baggage that has some good points. However I think the author needs a little more polish. (

I really liked this book. I enjoyed the characters, and the platonic relationships. I especially loved how it dealt with trauma. However, I felt that the romance was rushed. Overall, I would recommend to people who are looking for an interesting take on vampires. (

A solid vampire book! I liked that the whole "wish I hadn't been turned" vibe that you get from most vampire novels was less dark angst and more simmering resentment and irritation. I also appreciated that hunting was nearly a non-event, not something that was either all-consuming or a point of existential woe. I was actually surprised in one respect; I totally thought Parker was going to be revealed as a spy for Elton. I held my breath through the sex scene, since it wasn't stated whether she was wearing the locket throughout or if she took it off, and either way it would have been an opportunity for Parker to steal it. Her "I asked a minion" explanation about how she knew where Stacey lived was crepe paper thin, and the speed with which she fell for Holly seemed implausible. (Vampires get a pass on temporal matters.) When Parker's "betrayal" turned out to be a scheme, I didn't see it coming until it was actually happening.

On the whole, an enjoyable book. (

I love teenage girls. They deserve all the revenge on shitty boys that exists.

What a fun lighthearted friendship vampire story with a little sapphic romance to boot. Utterly delightful. (And some interesting twists on vampire lore!) (
