Yea I am done reading this. surprised I read this far. The first two books were entertaining (in a i read in between shows to pass ads way) and I guess that's as far as the series goes.

Third book already, maybe I can read all books in my holidays`?
Whatever, I totaly love this book!!! Like I wrote before I like the other sister much more and I really love the third book. Did I wrote the first book is funny? Third book is even more funny.
The idea is so great a goth as a cheerleader...xD
Wow, maybe I can say something which I didn't like so much in these book but I don't want because I really love the third book...I can recommend the serie to vampire fantasy lover!

Cute, entertaining and an easy read. This one was more enjoyable and fluid because it was written in a traditional format. The best of the 3 IMO

Girls that Growl by Mari Mancusi is the third book in the Blood Coven Vampire series. This book again follows Rayne the Vampire Slayer as she is forced to infiltrate the cheerleading squad to find out why their football player boyfriends have gone missing. Rayne makes the cheerleading squad and find that the cheerleaders have been turned into werewolves. Through all of this Rayne's relationship with Jareth is on rocky ground and her life is slowly spinning out of control.
Mancusi again does a fantastic job of combining a hysterical over the top plot with very complex characters and serious issues. Rayne spends most of the book struggling with her self identity and sabotaging her relationships with the people she loves as she searches for a way to deal with werewolf cheerleaders.
Appropriateness: This book has the same level of adult behavior as the last in the series. Rayne's bad girl antics are shown to be a cover for her insecurity in her life. There's some drinking, some sex talk (but no actual sex) and Rayne lies to her mother (and leaves the country without permission). One of the side characters is a cutter and it is handled in an extremely delicate way. While some think that cutting is something that should never be talked about or mentioned at all, I appreciated Mancusi's handling of the topic.

This one was ok but I much perfer the ones from Sunny's perspective as Rayne is not very likeable. In this book she is even more bitchy and unlikeable than ever. I truly don't understand why Jareth would stay with her.

This series is really corny. The cheerleaders are werewolves because they went to some crazy bonfire in, wait for it, England!! Seriously? If you don't like cheeseball stories don't bother with this book. The rest in the series aren't quite so corny but overall the series is just quick and easy

Girls that Growl by Mari Mancusi is a great addition to the Blood Coven Vampires series.
This book continues this series in an excellent manner all the while expanding the universe even farther. Our lead, Rayne, grows as a character which is a nice change compared to many YA novels where our leads stay the same throughout the entire series.
Mari explores lycan within this book alongside Rayne's character development. While this isn't my favourite book out of the entire series (this is actually my least favourite, when I look back at all the books - including the new one), I feel like this book does it's job - it moves the story forward so we can get to the next novels. Don't be turned away by this book - yes, it's not as great as the last two books but the following books get much, much better than this one. There always seems to be one book in a series that isn't as great as the rest (there has to be, not all books can be perfect) and this book is it in this series. The previous and following books are definitely worth reading this book so you can get to all the adventure and romance we love.
There is more Sunny in this book, but the main focus is Rayne. It's nice to see both girls have a bigger presence in this book!! There is also a bit more exploration of Jareth, for those who love him...
Overall, I enjoyed this book. Re-reading it was an excellent choice for me and I definitely suggest picking this book up!!
Five out of five stars.
