The Disturbed Vampire Episode 1: Books

Do you know any great vampires books?

I read twilight already but any more than 4 books.

I’d recommend Jessica’s Guide to Dating on the Dark Side. Blurb on the back of the book: Enter a bizarre new exchange student named Lucius Vladescu who claims Jessica is a Romanian vampire princess by birth and he’s her long lost fiancé. He’s arrogant, officious, embarrassingly overprotective, and, well, incredibly hot.
Armed with a copy of ‘Growing Up Undead: A Teen Vampire’s Guide To Dating, Health and Emotions’, Jessica tries to imagine the transition from average American teenager to glam European vampire princess. But just when things start to heat up with Lucius, a devious cheerleader sets her sights on him.
Soon Jess finds herself fighting to win back her wayward prince, stop a global vampire war – and save Lucius’s soul from eternal damnation. All of which leaves her to wonder: Wouldn’t life be easier if she could just fall for a nice mortal boy?
When I read the blurb, I was a little hesitant – I thought it would be cheesy with the main character reading ‘Growing Up Undead: A Teen Vampire’s Guide To Dating, Health and Emotions,’ but it was great! They gave you an insight into where the story was sometimes heading. The quote in the front of the book to show you was “Just remember, girls: The young male vampire is a predator by nature. Some boys may look at you not only as a romantic interest, but as prey…” It was just like she was reading a text book – it wasn’t cheesy at all. I also fell in love with the characters. Lucius is gorgeous – He pretends to be a school exchange student so he can go to the same school as Jessica to continue to court her, and is tall, muscular, has dark hair and wears thick European boots, a long cloak, is incredibly rich and is ROYAL. He defends Jessica’s ‘honour’ at school, ready to actually kill a person if they talk down to her, and gets extremely jealous when she goes out with an ordinary boy. It’s really cute, and you get to see what he actually thinks about things since he writes letters to his family in Romania, which gives you more of an insight to his character. A great book if you love Vampire romances! (But be prepared to feel heartbroken at times! Some things don’t always work out…)

Hope I helped!
