Action, Humor, a lil' Romance, and a kick but Girl (turned vamp!)

No sparkly, brooding vampires here. Main Character Gina is turned Vampire and with her to the other side she took her good fashion sense, her desire to keep her hair dresser, her same confident (not-quite-but-almost) man-eating attitude.

This is a fun quick read about Gina, the boy who turned her, the boys gifts (which is causing all of the hair tangling ruckus,) and a lair, or in the case house, of vamps being used as a mini-army. No matter what the situation Gina is as much worried about her inability to dress herself in a mirror as she is about kicking-butt to stay un-dead.

Action, humor, and a girl who isn't relying on anyone to get her out of a situation. Gina takes charge and offers a different side to the girl-who-falls-in-love-with-a-vampire then many of the books today. This is fairly written, using the storyline and characters personalities to hold the humorous story well.

Oh no is it really that late

That is what I was saying when I started reading this book. It was so engaging that time was flying by so fast I didn't realize how late it was. I really love all of her work. Lucienne knows how to write with a good mix of drama, action, humor, and sarcasm. You just have to know what is on the next page.

Blah

I was wary of this when I bought it, and I realized as soon as I started this book, I was rightfully so. I...hated it. I try not to use hate, but that's what I felt. I just did not like it. The plot was boring, the characters and relationships unbelievable. Just...not good.

Disappointed

I love vampire books but i hated this book. It wasnt clear and it was hard to understand what was going on. The whole book was confusing and you couldnt follow it easily. Reading this book was more boring than watching paint dry.

A light, fun read

Gina Covello wakes up in a coffin after she dies in an accident. To her horror she realizes she is a Vampire and the boy who made her one, Bobby, is one of the geeks turned dashing and handsome vampire too. Bobby is kidnapped by Mellisande and Gina is sent to a dungeon like place where she finds many of her classmates, apparently turned into vampires too.

Now Gina has to discover Mellisande's purpose in building a teenage vampire army. And also why Bobby is singled out by her? What exactly does Mellisande want?

Gina is such a likable vamp. She cares about her manicure, brands, her hair, but yes, she also has a conscience which makes for interesting conversations with herself.

This book was so much fun, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The author, Lucienne Diver, has a sarcastic and snarky sense of humor and a very fresh voice.

If you want to read a chic, cool and fun vampire story, you should definitely read this one. If you want to read something different than the hordes of dark vampire books, Vamped is definitely it.

The only problem with the book was that the action was a little difficult to follow at times. As there is one POV to the story, Gina's, the reader is left as confused and in the dark as Gina is. You kind of discover and understand what's going on along with Gina. The end is open ended so I am guessing there is a sequel? I have read this book being compared to Buffy, but I wouldn't know as I haven't seen a single episode yet. Sad, I know.

If you like Young Adult or Chicklit, this book is definitely for you. Vamped could be a perfect beach read.

One of the passages just to give you an example of the writing style:
Superhuman strength or no, by the time I broke through to the surface, my manicure was totally shot, my nails were split, and I was covered in dirt. And I mean covered. I was about to wig out when I realized just what I was brushing off-and one shock kind of cancelled out the other. My parents had me buried me in a truly heinous dress of white eyelet, which made me look like a stylistically challenged child bride. I had a vague repressed memory of being forced to wear it to my first communion years ago and marveled that it still fit. Not that I'd grown out, except for, you know, up top. Sadly, I hadn't done much growing up either; I'd maxed out at, like, five foot nothing. Anyway, if anything deserved to be covered in grave dust, it was this old rag.
(Any mistakes, in spelling or grammar, are all typos from my side)

Another Vamp Adventure

Okay, maybe the idea was good, but there seemed to be something missing when i read this book. The story is somewhat good, but it gets lost along the way. The idea is that our heroine Gina Covello gets bitten at Prom and is transformed. The rest of the book is devoted to seeing her get kidnapped by a fringe vamp group bent on taking it over, and the kids at Gina's high school have all been transformed as a vamp army. It has its entertaining parts, especially where she has to make nice with the mean girls from her school. But the book still lacked a certain grab for me. I still recommend it for anyone hungry for something new.

Gina Covello's life-altering night in only six words: went to prom, became a vampire.

Well, it's really not that simple. There were some things Gina could have done to prevent this. For one, she could have stuck with her boyfriend, Chaz, during prom instead of making out with the transformed, now uber gorgeous chess geek, Bobby. She could have found a better place so Chaz would not actually see this occur. She could have not gone in the car with a now angry and a little tipsy boyfriend who might just be a little off while driving.

If only all these "could haves" were processed before Gina could actually make an executive decision. In the end, the car crashed, Gina thought she was dead, woke up in a grave, and discovered that Bobby was not a normal chess geek, but a newly vamped one.

After clawing her way out of her grave with her superpower vamp strength, and being saved by her "vampire boyfriend," Bobby, Gina thinks that with her new life, she can rule the world. Of course that is once she gets out of the hideous ensemble her parents buried her in and shops til she drops with an addition of a serious makeover (vamps can do that, right?).

Little does Gina know that another vamp is vying to take over the vampire world and the army she is building is all too familiar with Gina and the entire town.

What's now in store for Gina? There is discovering that Bobby may not be just a normal vampire, and can he get any sexier? Then, of course, there are the harsh interrogations and treatment by a freakshow, and a dragon lady, and a revival of her arch-enemy. And who could forget the all-out battle to the end.

With a huge influx of vampire inspired novels, it is hard to choose the ones that are worth taking a bite out of. VAMPED is one novel you will want to sink your teeth into... more than once.

Lucienne Diver introduces the newest and hottest couple to the vampire world. Gina, who knows how to kick butt, take control when needed, and look good while accomplishing it all; and Bobby, the perfect gentleman vampire who knows exactly how to make Gina happy and is an amazing kisser. Watch out Edward Cullen, you have major competition.

With the combination of witty banter, intertwined with small curl-your-lip-up romantic scenes, scheming plots, and a war no one will want to miss, VAMPED is the newest, biggest vampire novel around. Do not miss out on what everyone else will be reading!

As advertised, Clueless meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer

This was a really fun read. The main character Gina cracked me up constantly. Oh the woes of a valley girl turned vampire. I wont give away the plot, but in a nutshell. Popular girl gets turned into a vampire by geek boy at school. Love, or more likely infatuation ensues. The plot enters as girl finds her new boyfriend is the key to a prophecy. Mayhem is had, fashion disasters are averted, thwarted and noticed.

Its a great spin on the whole vampire genre that sometimes takes itself too seriously. For great laughs and a fun read, this is a great book!
