Jessica took it a bit far, but i found it more realistic. I definitely recommend this book to fans of the genre. Jessica is just your average teen, living her average life…
Fun and Funny!
Attempting to fill her birth-mother’s vampire shoes, Jessica does her best to stand at her husband’s side as he attempts to… It had never struck me how vulnerable I’d been all those mornings I’d waited out there alone, but the realization hit me hard then. THE FIRST TIME I saw him, a heavy, gray fog clung to the cornfields, tails of mist slithering between the dying stalks. The undead can really screw up your senior year . Now, if there was going to be a sequel, that would change things up quiet a bit. I could somewhat understand the ending, just not how rushed it seemed.
It happens so fast then….the end. I gave it 3 stars because I really enjoyed the humor and the narrators were excellent!! If the author would have just left out Lucius’s two timing, cheating hook up wifh that girl I would have loved it. Wow, I am glad that i did not judge this book by it’s cover. (so cliche, i know!) The title made it feels as though it would make fun of the current vampire craze, but actually this story has depth.
Jessica is a charming character who is lucky enough to garner the attentions of the luscious Lucius. Yes, another vampire book and I picked it up. The finely drawn characters capture readers’ attention in this debut. I glanced down the road, heart thudding.

It was only supposed to be a one-time thing with each of them, but no matter how hard I try to stay away, we keep getting thrown together. Theia Alderson has always led a sheltered life in the small California town of Serendipity Falls. But when a devastatingly handsome boy appears in the halls of her school, Theia knows she’s seen Haden before – not around town, but in her dreams. My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy.
Until strange things start happening, and she realises that perhaps Antanasia Dragomir has been dormant inside her all along… Yes, there was a lot of laugh out loud moments for me and enjoyed the love/hate relationship between Lucius and Jessica but then the middle happened. So, there are spoilers here, just warning you. What I hated was how Lucius gave up on Jessica and hooked up with the blonde cheerleader!
She explains they do a lot but actual intercourse because her parents want her on the pill and she doesn’t want to get pregnant before college. I’m getting angry again just thinking about it! Then she walks in on them getting hot and heavy in his bed and he just lays there with his arm still around her, clothes disheveled while Jessica is hurt and shocked. The author explains more of their makeout sessions than her and Lucius. Anyway, she ends up going to Romania to save him (after she hears he’s still alive) and he turns into this asshole. Treats her like crap, but he has a moment, doesn’t stake her then bites her.

Antanasia Dragomir, renamed Jessica Packwood by her adopted parents, is a down-to-earth farm girl with a talent for mathematics and a resolute disdain for all things supernatural. The last thing she wanted was to find out that her birth parents were vampires, and that her vampire betrothed has come to claim her. Lucius Vladescu is handsome, arrogant, and determined to make her accept her heritage and marry him – or risk reigniting the feud which has been going on between their clans for generations. BabygirlGsaid…I didn’t love Jessica. I think they are too many vampire books out there. A. J. WHITTEN is a pseudonym for New York Times bestselling author Shirley Jump writing with her teenage daughter, Amanda.

All in all the entire book wasn’t bad, I guess I can understand all the angst; it just was a bit…. Maybe it was my mood or the timing of reading this book.
This book sounds great as does Jekel Loves Hyde. I’ll definitely have to read Jessica’s Guide soon. Elaing8said…Great review.I just bought this book and I’m looking forward to reading it. Christasaid…Both of those books look fabulous! I’m a little ready to move away from the vampire craze, but since it looks like Beth Fantaskey is spreading from vampire to Jekyll & Hyde, I applaud her & will keep an eye out for these books.
The title had long since convinced me that this was yet another YA paranormal that was hell bent on holding up a public mockery in the name of the genre «Fantasy». I mean a dating guide to the dark side? Lucius and Jessica have been promised to each other since birth to keep the vampire peace in datingranking.org/luxury-date-review/ Romania. But Jessica was sent off as a baby and grew up in America not knowing any of her family’s History, nor does she know she is a vampire. I am not sure if Fantaskey has left room for a sequel, but if she does I’ll be reading it and regardless I’ll be looking forward to her next book.
She doesn’t immediately fall into his arms, her feelings gradually change. Lucius was the one I was worried about. He is motivated by duty and not love. As a reader I needed to see this radical transformation, I needed to see him switch that mode of duty to genuine feelings. And Fantaskey masterfully displays Lucian through his first-person letters to his uncle.
