I was there was a sequel. ( )

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this one.

Fun, kind entertaining, but kind boring... It took me a while to read, it's unique in a way, it's a bit silly story but if you are looking for a fun, light read then do give it a try!

Honestly, vampire books are just mehhh, only because I'm going to always compare them to The V Games Series by Caroline Peckhma. ( )

Got 12 pages into this and had to DNF it. It was terrible. I thought the story would be funny, but it is just dumb and I did not enjoy the writing style either. ( )

This is an Awesome book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (If anyone thinks I overuse the word Awesome, you're probably right, but it's just such an Awesome word.) Pearl is one of the coolest vampires i've come across, but in a different way from other vampire stories/heroines like Rose (Vampire Academy) or Dru (Strange Angels). Possibly because at the start, she's a full vampire, pretty much heartless and soulless. but, throughout the book, we see her growing conscience and humanity and its an interesting journey. I just read the book yesterday, and i'm not sure if even I can determine the exact point where she started about the humans around her and in her life. (of course, everyone else probably thinks its when she screamed "Vampires!!!" in the cafeteria, cuz that's the obvious I-don't-want-all-these-humans-to-die moment, but i think it happened before that)
plus, I LOVE THE FREAKING WERE-UNICORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any book that can make me laugh out loud this many times deserves 5 stars!

The Kia fishtailed, and she parked diagonally across two spots.
"You clearly don't know how to park, Jadrien observed.
"Nonsense," Pearl said. "I simply know how to make an entrance.

Drink Slay Love tells the tale of Pearl, a teenage, rebellious, gothic vampire girl of 16 who is stabbed by a unicorn, turned good, and slowly transformed into a better person. As she discovers a conscience and feels her emotions for the first time, she must battle her own inner conflicts, survive her bloodthirsty Mafioso family and the local king of vampires, then plan and execute the junior prom, all while making new friends and falling in love.

First, there's the title. I love the title. Perfect vampire book title. Second, there's the cover. It's sexy and chic - fantastic! Third, the book itself was hilarious! I mean - unicorns. Seriously. It's so absolutely ridiculous and yet brilliant at the same time. I wish I'd thought of it.

He staked me.
The pretty sparkly horse had staked her.
"Crap," she said.
She clutched at the bloody horn, and the world went dark.

Sarah beth Durst's writing is witty and intelligent. The story is very well thought out, practically textbook in structure. Characters are charmingly cliché cutouts from any number of teenager or vampire movies, but the book is no less for that. The banter is fun and playful. I feel like I'm immersed in Buffy the Vampire Slayer or The Breakfast Club, both of which were referenced.

Pearl is tough, smart, sassy and cool as she struggles to keep her life together and survive vampires, high school and a growing sense of guilt and decency. She's easy to fall in love with and I think this readily could have turned into a popular series. No small wonder that the book is being made into a movie.

"Kidnap is such a harsh word," Tall said. "I prefer protective custody. Really, when you think about it, we were protecting you. Or protecting someone from you, which is almost the same. Except for how it's totally not.

Any fan of The Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Buffy or any light, supernatural stories, is going to absolutely love this book. I did. ( )
