A story about a group of girls who team up to take revenge on the vampire that turned them? Such a great premise for a story. At times, I wish the world and the relationship would have been a bit more fleshed out. The pacing also felt a bit off at times, which kind of pulled me out of the story.

But the references to traditional vampire stories throughout will really make it fun for vampire fans. Holly is a great narrator, and her snide comments about vampires and people's views of vampires just make the story more fun to read.

All in all, if you're looking for a quick, entertaining vampire story, this one would fit the bill!
