Publisher Description
Contrary to popular opinion, vampires are not sexy, romantic, or powerful. In case you hadn’t noticed, vampires are dead. And the only ones who don’t get staked are the ones who avoid attacking people, admit they have a problem, and join a support group. Just ask Nina Harrison—fanged at fifteen, and still living with her mother. She hasn’t aged since 1973, and the highlight of her sickly, couch-bound life is probably her Tuesday-night group meeting, which she spends with a miserable bunch of fellow sufferers, being lectured at.
But then one of the group is mysteriously turned to ashes…and suddenly they’re all under threat. That’s when Nina decides to prove that every vampire on earth isn’t a weak, pathetic loser. Along with her friend Dave—a former punk rocker who could be pretty cute, if he weren’t such a vampire—she travels way out of her comfort zone to track down the killer. It could be that there is a lot more to being a vampire than Nina realized.

"I liked the new twist on an old genre. It was fun to read about vampires who weren't glamourous or sexy, but instead were sickly and still seemed human with their thoughts and emotions. I also liked that it wasn't a copy of "Twilight" (which I thought was an okay story) because it offered a new, fresh perspective of vampires. The story had some slow, predictable moments but overall it was a fun read."

" These are not your typical vampires. They are anything but glamorous. I certainly wouldn't want to be that kind of vampire. But even with all their problems, they still manage to accomplish things by getting past their handicaps. "

" Ok this book was just ok. I think if we hadn't been in the middle of a snow storm and without power I might have stopped reading halfway through. Eh, nothing special and kind of boring. :/ "
— Andrea, 1/30/2014 -
" It was a refreshing take on vampires. Had a subtle bit of humour here and there andwasnt that bad. But I have read better books. "

" funny and imaginative, wish i'd thought of it first :D "
— Abbie, 12/31/2013 -
" I would give this book 3.5 stars. I enjoyed the unusual take on vampires and the dour and dire lifestyle compared to what is more typical. These vampires are barely getting along in their existence and the narrator is still living with her mother. She was turned at age 15 but really she's 50. Also it is set in Australia so there is enough unfamiliarity for me so it gave it a twist. "

" This was a really cute and different way to portray vampires. "
— Wendy, 12/27/2013 -
" This was a very fun book! I'm not a huge fan of vampire books, but I picked this one up after seeing it on the YALSA top 100 books of 2010. It was worth the read - entertaining, interested, and a very new way of looking at vampires. "
— Arlie, 12/27/2013 -
" Wonderfully funny and sweet book about a group of misfit vampires trying to do the right thing in Australia. Coming of age story, even though protagonist is actually 53 (but stuck at age 15 in the vampire world). Incredibly creative! "
— Lisa, 11/6/2013 -
" This is not an average vampire book. It is not about some awesome vampire from T.V. It's about vampires that have problems, like being sick all the time and about being avarage. I found the plot very diffrent and would recommend this book for a summer read. "
— Wendy, 11/6/2013 -
" Funny, unexpected, and surprisingly charming. I did have a bit of trouble getting through the first forty pages or so, but found once I'd done that that the story really clicked along. "
— Ruth, 9/1/2013 -
" I really liked this, it was funny and different. I don't see why it should be labeled as young adult, Nina only looks 15, she is really 51. "
— Deborah, 8/24/2013 -
" Humorous novel giving a different angle on vampires that isn't the norm of what we've come to know about vampires. "
— Roxy, 8/1/2013 -
" This was such a cute book that I ended up grabbing another book by the same author. Though it was a little slow until about 50% into it, but I really got into it at that point so it totally made up for it. "
— Adriane, 5/1/2013 -
" this book was funny, awsome, exciting, and alot of action. Love vampire books "

" Cute! Fun! Different! "
— Kelly, 2/21/2013 -
" Got it for my birthday, and it was a good book. The vampires weren't super-powered for a change, and it was refreshing. I usually don't like (read: hate) vmpire novels, but this one gains three stars. "
— Julia, 7/31/2012 -
" These vampires are the anti-Cullens, not glamorous, not beautiful, not even able to keep their lunch down. The Tuesday Night Reformed Vampire Support Group led by Father Ramon of the local Catholic Church, is the highlight of this groups existence. That is until one of their number is staked. "
— Molly, 2/24/2012 -
" I thought this would be a bit funnier...more comic book craziness perhaps.<br/><br/>But, all in all, a nice, semi-brainless summer fun read! "

" Scary vampires. Nina struck me as a relly how do you say winner. <br/>To other she must have been reckless and dangerous because of how they would <br/>always try and get this in her head that she wasnt Nadia Bloostone, but I <br/>thought she was really cool. "
