Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey
4.0
I thought this was a good book. But, I did have a few questions.
1) If vampires are undead, how are they able to procreate? Are they undead babies?
2) If Jessica is a vampire princess awaiting transformation, wouldn't she be undead, too? Wouldn't a doctor or someone have noticed if she was cold or lacked a heartbeat? Wouldn't she have noticed? So...how could a simple bite some how make her from a living person to an undead vampire within a few minutes?
The ending, while satisfying and tied ends, seemed abrupt and made me wish it was a little longer. I was also wondering if anyone knew of a sequel in the works - such as, you know, Jessica's Guide to Becoming Vampire Royalty or something of the sort. I'm curious how she could make that full transformation into running a territory, keeping peace, and how her and Lucius do ruling side by side. Despite everything, I'm not quite sure he saw them ruling as equals, at least not entirely. And they definitely both had different upbringings - I would see that they would also see ruling quite differently, especially since Lucius was primped since birth for this. I don't want like, a million books like Princess Diaries ended up to be, but a little further story would be entertaining.
Lucius was definitely yummy though.
