More About This Book

Overview

I swear, my life was always totally normal.

Normal house, normal family, normal school. My looks are average, I don't have any superpowers, no one's showing up to tell me I'm a princess—you get the picture. But when my junior year started, something not normal happened. There were new kids at school . . . new kids with a wardrobe straight out of a 19th-century romance novel, and an inexplicable desire to stay at school until sundown.

And on top of that, James Hallowell showed up. James, who stole my sandwiches in fourth grade and teased me mercilessly through middle school. James, who now seems to have the power to make my heart race any time he comes near.

But something weird is going on. Because James rarely goes out during the day. And he seems stronger than your typical guy. And he knows the new kids, all of whom seem to be harboring some kind of deep secret. . . .

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Robinson's debut is a snappy, romantic tale in which even vampires have to deal with high school drama. Junior Sophie McGee is focused on becoming editor-in-chief of the school paper and thinks writing fluff pieces on new students like Vlad Smithson is a waste of time. Finding out that all the new kids know each other, her investigative reporter instincts are tickled, and she's compelled to snoop. Complications start when James, her old next-door nemesis/best friend, returns to town and is somehow connected to the creepy new kids. Things turn downright dangerous after Sophie is attacked and uncovers Vlad's real reason for moving to town. James tries to protect her, but he's not exactly the boy she remembers, and dealing with their mutual attraction is hard since it appears that they're going to end up on opposite sides. Robinson keeps things light through Sophie's sense of humor, and danger and excitement push the story forward. Lively twists and unusual characters add fun to what is ultimately a love story, but many unresolved questions indicate a sequel may lie ahead. Ages 12–up. (Jan.)
Booklist
“Sophie is smart, funny, and determined, and her narration adds humor and wit to the story. An original and entertaining entry to the genre.”

VOYA
Vampire Crush is definitely better than your average paranormal romance novel. Readers can truly empathize with both the mundane and supernatural choices of the flawed but relatable characters. Sophie's wit endears her to the most cynical of readers, but there is a bit too much in the first chapter. The difficult decisions that Sophie and James make could be better described, but their presence puts Vampire Crush above its competitors. Reviewer: Christina Li, Teen Reviewer
Children's Literature
At the beginning of her junior year in high school, all Sophie McGee can think about is being editor-and-chief of the school's newspaper. But, she is tired of covering the fluff stories Mr. Amado, her advisor, assigns her. So, when an odd new group of students start school, and they all seem to know each other, Sophie begins her investigation. The more facts she uncovers, the weirder things become. Things get even weirder when her long-time friend, James Hallowell, returns to school, and seems to know the new students, but will not give Sophie any information. Besides not explaining how he knows Vlad, Marisabel, Violet, and Neville, James lives alone in his parents' old house across the street from Sophie's family, but does not want anyone to know he is there. When Sophie figures out that the new students are all vampires, she thinks she has lost her mind, until James tells her he is one, too. She does not know if she can still trust him, but she may have no choice when Vlad decides she is the new bride he has been searching for. Robinson has created in Sophie a feisty, brave, heroine who has the all too human flaw of speaking her mind, and occasionally saying things she should not. Sophie's wit and sassy comebacks add realism to her character, but can be a bit distracting after a while. The friendship between James and Sophie is touching, and the portrayal of James's emotional ordeal adds depth to the story without making it too syrupy. Reviewer: Dana Benge
VOYA
Sophie McGee, confident, driven, but not terribly well-liked student journalist, experiences a head-on collision with the vampire world when she is assigned to write stories on a small group of strange new students. Sophie gains a little clarity when childhood friend and neighbor James returns from an out-of-town move three years ago. During his absence, in a weak moment after the loss of his parents, James became a vampire. Sophie learns that his return and his connection to the small bevy of very weird and pale teens is part of his attempt to reverse his condition. Enter Vlad, the obsessive and scary leader of the little colony who seems to be desperately seeking someone for unrevealed nefarious reasons and initially sets his sights on Sophie's sister, Caroline. It is impossible to read a teen vampire novel—especially one that involves chaste attraction in combination with the good vamp/bad vamp set-up—and not compare it to Meyer's Twilight series (Little, Brown). Robinson's tale of Sophie and James and Vlad is no exception, and whatever success this title enjoys is due at least in part to Meyer's audience hoping to recreate their experience. Happily, fans will not be disappointed. Robinson puts her twist on this tale. Sophie possesses a sharp, wry, and unchecked tongue. Robinson also injects humor in her use of language—either Caroline's malapropisms or the awkward attempts of the vampires to fit into the teen world. Unfortunately the humor is sometimes misplaced and slows down the plot—which nowhere has the intensity of Meyer's chase. Robinson also creates a few too many loose plot threads that demand either greater attention or an editor's blue pencil. Still, Robinson's is an admirable first novel, and her ending leaves open the possibility of a more polished sequel. Reviewer: Lauri J. Vaughan
School Library Journal
Gr 8 Up—Unlike her popular and beautiful stepsister Caroline, Sophie McGee enjoys being on the sidelines. She is a watcher, not a player, and her greatest dream is to become the editor in chief of the school newspaper at Thomas Jefferson High. Her first assignment is to interview some new students, but as Sophie begins to question them, her investigative senses immediately go on full alert. They are unwilling to talk, extremely evasive, and mysterious, and, most disturbing, they all know one another. Then James, Sophie's former neighbor whom she had a love/hate relationship with, is secretly back and is connected to the new arrivals, too. Danger follows Sophie as she discovers that these students are actually vampires on a quest to find the key to an ancient forgotten prophecy. As things intensify, her life hangs in the balance. Robinson's debut novel is full of action, adventure, and suspense, with some romance as well. Sophie is a great character and has a witty style with which readers can easily identify. The fast-moving plot deals with issues like teen angst, facing your fears, and being true to yourself all rolled up with evil vampires and some serious fight scenes. An entertaining and satisfying read.—Donna Rosenblum, Floral Park Memorial High School, NY
Kirkus Reviews

Sophie's a loner, and all she really cares about is making editor-in-chief of the school paper. Her first assignment for the year includes interviewing the new kids, who are distinctly odd.Her popular, pretty, clued-in stepsister Caroline falls hard for Vlad, one of the newbies, and complications ensue: Vlad and three of the other new students all turn out to be vampires (surprise!), as does James, the boy who used to live next door and has suddenly returned. Sophie doesn't immediately suspect this, but when she does, the comedy ratchets up a notch. Death, fangs, romance and all kinds of convoluted revised vampire lore are all packed in, but with a vampire-lite tone it hews to entertainment rather than angst. Sophie's voice is smart, sassy and full of humorous asides—"They're vampires, or at least under a number of severe delusions"—and her distinctive take makes this a smoothly enjoyable ride to its happy(ish) ending. Sure to be popular with readers weary of the heavy-handed purple prose that typically (over)stuffs the genre. (Paranormal. YA)

    Great Read!

    Just looking at the cover to Vampire Crush I knew I would love it. I am one of those who gets pulled in by the cover of a book and this was definitely one of those.

    I really enjoyed reading Vampire Crush and found it SUPER funny. Some parts were predictable, but you couldn't help but keep reading just to figure out exactly how it would all play out.

    Sophie was smart and funny and dedicated herself to any assignment that was given to her. Especially the one where she had to get to know the new students. The ones who barely acknowledged her and didn't even give her a second glance. This peeked her curiosity and she started digging deeper into their lives and trying to show everyone that something just isn't right about them. The more she kept digging into the lives of the new students, she also found herself in a lot of heat. Then she finds out James, her childhood neighbor who she crushed on and hated at the same time, is back in town and is actually friends with the new students.

    I love James! The more I kept reading and finding out about James' life, the more I felt for him. He has been through so much and made one mistake trying to fit in and find a purpose in life. But it was also a mistake that brings him back into Sophie's life and makes him realize just how special and important Sophie is to him.

    I hope that Vampire Crush is not the end of Sophie and James story. I laughed so hard at some of the things that came out of Sophie's mouth and I found myself at the edge of my seat whenever Vlad was up to one of his tricks. He was the perfect bad guy and I think A.M. Robinson did an excellent job creating him.

    From the funny characters to the romance building between Sophie and James, I couldn't help but think about Vampire Crush all day, until I was finally done reading it. I am looking forward to reading any future books by A.M. Robinson. Great Read!

    Very fun and Fantastic Vampire Story

    This book was amazing. It was full of humor, well developed characters and great pacing. Sophie is a great heroine and is a very witty, intelligent, quirky, sarcastic and infinitely curious character. Being in her head for a whole book was a delight - I don't think I've ever laughed this much with a book. The romance in the book is well done and not angst ridden. I have to say that I was skeptical about this book because it was another teen vampire romance novel, but what's great about this one in particular is that it does not take itself seriously (there's even a reference to twilight in it). The vampires were well portrayed as well. I loved every character, even the villain was hilarious. Oh and I loved the banter between Sophie and James. Just a great read overall, I loved this book

    Reviewed by Jaglvr for TeensReadToo

    Sophie McGee is determined to become the next editor of her school newspaper. The job is down to her and Lindsay Allen. The final determination will be based on the interviews that their advisor, Mr. Amado, expects them to do of the new students at their school. Five new students have appeared in the halls, and they all seem to have come together. It's not looking good for Sophie, because the people on her list, all except for Violet, have been impossible to pin down. The leader of the group, Vlad, has been the hardest. But Sophie is the most surprised when she realizes that one of the new students is none other than her long-ago next door neighbor, James. After both his parents died, James left town. But now he's returned, and he's moved back into the family home next door. There is a connection between James and Sophie, but Sophie's investigative nature kicks in, and she knows something is not quite right with the new students, including James. Sophie, on her own, deduces that the students are actually vampires - and she's pretty sure that Vlad is the leader of the group. What she can't figure out is what James is doing with them, and whether or not James is a vampire, too. Eventually, James spills his story, and the two work together to try to figure out a solution to Vlad and the rest of the vampires. The cover of VAMPIRE CRUSH caught my eye immediately. The red and black jump right out at you on the shelves. The story contains something for every type of reader. There's intrigue with Sophie's news-sniffing character, there's romance between James and Sophie, and there's family conflict with Sophie and her popular sister, Caroline, just to give you an idea. VAMPIRE CRUSH is A. M. Robinson's debut novel, and she shows a lot of promise for many future works. If you're a fan of the vampire genre, then this won't disappoint at all. The story moves quickly as Sophie tries to uncover the truth about the new students. I didn't want to put the book down once James reveals the truth of his disappearance and reappearance. I would love to see a continuation of James' and Sophie's romance....?!

    BookWhisperer Review: Vampire Crush

    Vampire Crush was a very cute innocent romance wrapped in a vampire storyline. Sophie is your average girl with not much interest in fashion or friends. Her one of very few friends has been gone for a couple years, but she still finds herself thinking of him often. When he mysteriously shows back up in his old house; Sophie is left with many unanswered questions. When answers begin unfolding they may be more than what Sophie wanted to know. Sophie is a very interesting character that I believe many young readers will relate. This is not that happy ending for the diva queen, but more that chance for the average girl to find a sweet love story. The vampire storyline was a very unique and interesting plot. Although, the conclusion of Vampire Crush has left me with many questions. It appears as though this might be the beginning for a series, and I am anxious to see if there will be more for Sophie's journey.

    Not That Great - an OK read

    I liked what this book could have been. The main character isn't altogether likable, but I did find some redeeming qualities in her character. Vlad was a rather flat villain with no real substance or personality. The whole book felt like a lame-spy attempt made by a Veronica Mars knock off. I did like James, he seemed genuine - like it was feasible he'd be a real person. Sophie seemed...interesting but she lacked dimension. We know as readers that she was into Journalism and that she had a step-mother and step-sister, but we don't get a real sense of the family dynamic. Her sister Caroline is annoying and vapid, even in her sisterly moments. Violet seemed interesting in a antiquated-Barbie sense, but I did find her relatively funny. Marisabel, Neville, and the D'Ashley twins were fillers in my opinion. I couldn't find one thing about any of those characters that made them stand out. And even though I was not Sophie's number one fan, I did feel that she deserved to be the editor of her paper, seniority and serious interest made me feel she was entitled. Even though there are notable scenes in the book, I felt that there was no character development as the plot thickened and the reactions to finding out vampires exist were lacking the reality department. This is an easy read with good metaphors and pop culture references in the writing. Not something I would recommend to a friend, but if you need a vamp book fix in a pinch and have nothing else of interest to read, give it a shot. Different strokes for different folks!

    Great Read!!

    This was a great read. I love how easy, fun, and cute it was.


    Sophie is a headstrong girl. Trying to get a head in her school paper, she is given the task to interview the six new students that have arrived. Sophie is faced with a new dilemma when the new students won't even speak to her. Help comes her way in a form of a long lost friend. James is still the same, but different. Bent on sticking her nose where is shouldn't be, Sophie find herself in a world of trouble.


    Sophie is a great character. I love her strength in wanting to get something when she wants it. Sophie is not the type to give up easily and that is why she always finds herself in trouble. Sophie investigates a lot, just like a good journalist should be.


    The romance in the book was great. I love the whole long lost friend romance. James and Sophie go way back. It brings a nice touch to their relationship and his feelings for her now. James protects her and pretty much put his whole life out there for her.


    I will admit that I thought this would be like Twilight, when in turn it was nothing like it. The characters were all different giving a great touch to the book. I love the whole plot of the sacred one and the vampire culture. Ms. Robinson debut novel is a great read. I love reading all about Sophie, even when she got herself in trouble. Ms. Robinson is one book I would definitely want on my shelf.
