Pauley, Kimberly Sucks To Be Me, 304 p. Mirrorstone, September, 2008.
HS, MS - ESSENTIAL
Mina Hamilton has always known that her parents and her uncle are vampires. But now all of the other vampires know about Mina and she has decide in the next month whether to become a vamp herself or not. Of course, no one is saying what might happen if she chooses the "or not" part. But vampire classes aren't so bad, especially since they include Aubrey, who is too hot for words and he seems to be really interested in Mina, or in her family at least. And even a guy from her own school is there taking the lessons too.
When I was reading this I had a hard time not comparing it to Evernight by Claudia Gray. Then I heard her daughter, who was constantly chuckling and giggling as she took her turn at the reading. We both agree that Evernight is a great dramatic read on a similar situation, but that Sucks is the winner in the humor department. If your school is collecting vampire books, this is a great one for the middle.
