Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side, Beth Fantasky

This was a fun and light hearted read for me. I laughed through the whole thing, the characters wit and sarcasm were perfect for the situation he found himself in! I also feel as though the Jessica had a more realistic reaction to the situation. I know that if some weird guy approached me and told me I was his betrothed vampire princess and that we had to get married I would probably do the same thing she did and stay as far away as possible!! Over all it was a fun book to read, I would definitely classify this book as a romantic comedy.

Spoilers alert.

Jessica is a senior and her only goal this year is to fit in and be normal! Cue the weird but totally hot vampire. Lucius shows up claiming to be her fiance and a vampire and he also expected her to know all of this, come to find out her Vegan parents left our a few details of her adoption. The comedy that follows as a full fledged vampire who likes his stake rare, lives with a family of Vegans and tries to woo their daughter is fantastic. He gives Jessica a book that every young vampire must read (growing up undead: a teen vampire's guide to dating, health, and emotions) This book is ridiculous and Jessica soon realizes that Lucius has never read it himself. There are two families of royalty in the vampire world Jessica is the only heir of one and Lucius is from the other, the only problem is these families hate each other and Lucius' family has almost completely eliminated Jessica's. The marriage is supposed to be a peace treaty but there is an expiration date on it and it is Lucius' job to get Jess to the alter by then. This creates two aspects to this book on the one hand you have two teens who are starting to develop real feeling for one another and on the other hand you have a family feud and you don't know where loyalties lie.
