Annotation: Nina, a grumpy vampire is in a support group so that she doesn't prey on humans. But things start to look grimmer than ever as one of the vampires in the support group shows up dead. Will Nina be able to get to the bottom of this crime before another vampire is attacked?
Recommend: Yes
Convince to read book: The book is witty and keeps you reading. The best books are the ones that you never want to put down, and though this isn't the best book it definitely fits the criteria.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: I love the main character, Nina, who is funny, sarcastic and who willingly embarks on crazy adventures. She's cool and clumsy at the same time and seems to always have something interesting to say.
Did you finish: Yes
Were you disappointed with the book at all: The only flaw in the book is the back, it gives away too much. Don't read it!
Did the cover reflect tempt you: The cover is pretty ordinary and didn't do much to attract or drive me away from the book.
