Not at all what I was hoping for. Not really all that funny, pointless story line, and a rude main character. The ending sucked and I felt like I wasted so much time reading it. I wouldn't suggest it.

When I saw this book offered in my local library e-book selection I jumped at the chance to download it. I've been in a vampire induced coma lately and it seems the subject is what I've been reading quite a bit of lately. However, until I started reading it I didn't realize that it was a piece of youth fiction. I can't even believe that a teenager would want to read this. It was horribly boring, scattered and worst of all while it lacked depth. I know I'm not reading Faust here but I did want at least one character I could feel something for. While I was relieved when it ended the actual ending made me want to throw my e-reader across the room. I can't believe I wasted my time.

First off, it took me a long time to get into this book, but I'm glad that I finally did!
For a great portion of the book, the main character of the book, Doug, comes across as a self-centered, girl-obsessed greedy 15-year-old. It takes a major event happening to his friend before he realizes he needs to be a better person than he has been - although his sense of humor is pretty snarky (which I always enjoy).

Another enjoyable thing about the book is alternating chapters told from the point of view of Senjal. The exchange student from India - she's in the US to recover from a case of the "Google," an obsession with video-blogging, internet usage, etc. Her desire to truly become a better person balances Doug's initial greed.

The book starts off slow, but gains momentum when Doug meets his "Vampire Brethren" and the "Vampire Hunters" start to close in on him.
