VAMPS: Vampire American Princesses by Nancy Collins

Collins, Nancy A. VAMPS: Vampire American Princesses, 256 p. Harper, 2008. Language: PG-13 (30+ swears, 1 “f”), Sexual Content: PG-13, Violence: PG. Lilith Todd and her friends are spoiled American princesses – the offspring of Old Blood - powerful vampire ruling families – and everything about them screams rich, spoiled brat: from the top of their perfectly coiffed heads to the toes of their expensively clad feet. Oh, and did I mention attitudes? When Lilith is challenged by a New Blood vampiress, everything in her screams revenge and matters only get worse when this interloper starts attending Lilith’s ultra-private, vampires-only school. Call it Gossip Girls with vampires, which means that it really annoyed me with its foul-language, sexual references and excessive alcohol use. I am a little late getting into this series (there are three out now), but I would leave it to the public library, unless you already carry Stephen King or Anne Rice in your library. NO.
