I think this first book shows great potential for the rest of the series. It was a little to predictable but the characters were quick and easy to fall in love with. It had some funny parts too. I like Vlad so I'm gonna read the rest and hope they are fantastic!

This was a fun, spooky, and entertaining read!
I don't know when I'll dive into the rest of the series
considering I have ARC's waiting to be read but hopefully soon!
I'd say if you love the original "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and
the TV series "My babysitter's a Vampire" then you'll enjoy this.
I also really love Heather's writing, it's fast and she knows how
to tell a good story without throwing the boring bits in your face.
Loved it.

Being the first Vampire book I ever read... I connect so closely to this series. Really recommend it!!

I read this on a whim, and perhaps because I was reminiscing over Percy Jackson too much, so I gave this a try. It wasn't bad, but it lacked whatever set Percy Jackson apart. There was no biting wit, and the villainy was just underwhelming. I understand this is the first in a children's series, so perhaps there are far better things to come, but this particular introduction was just...okay.

Fast paced and really funny. I can't wait to see what happens next. I expect as the series continues it will get darker but for now a slightly lighter side to the vampire craze. :)
