Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along!
Just do the following:
I recently received Jane Jones: Worst. Vampire. Ever. by Caissie St. Onge as part of the Amazon Vine program. I chose it because it sounded very different from the usual young adult vampire story and I was in the mood for something different. This is also Caissie's debut young adult novel.
Teaser:
Product Description:- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

Teaser:
See, like it doesn't suck enough to be a teenager who's a vampire who's a complete dork, I also have this other problem. I'm blood-intolerant.
For Jane Jones, being a vampire is nothing like you read about in books. In fact, it kind of sucks. She's not beautiful, she's not rich, and she doesn't "sparkle." She's just an average, slightly nerdy girl from an ordinary suburban family (who happens to be vampires.) Jane's from the wrong side of the tracks (not to mention stuck in the world's longest awkward phase), so she doesn't fit in with the cool vampire kids at school or with the humans kids. To top it all off, she's battling an overprotective mom, a clique of high school mean girls (the kind who really do have fangs), and the most embarrassing allergy in the history of the undead, she's blood intolerant. So no one's more surprised than Jane when for the first time in her life, things start to heat up (as much as they can for a walking corpse, anyway) with not one, but two boys. Eli's a geeky, but cute real-live boy in her history class, and Timothy is a beautiful, brooding bloodsucker, who might just hold the key to a possible "cure" for vampirism. Facing an eternity of high school pressure, fumbling first dates, or a mere lifetime together with Timothy, what's a 90-something year-old teen vampire to do?
Fans of the Vladmir Tod Chronicles, You are So Undead to Me, and Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side will feast on this deliciously readable, smart, and fantastically funny debut.
That would be a horrible situation! Happy Reading!

Suzanne @ Under the Covers
Ohh this one's been on my wishlist for a while, I believe, it sounds so funny :)
ReplyDeleteSounds funny! I don't know even how a vampire survives that though.
ReplyDelete90-something years old? wouldnt you have grown out of the awkward phase by then? Mentally, at least!
ReplyDeleteI'm skeptical..is it good?

The Haunting of Orchid Forsythia
Any vampire book that also amuses me is worth looking into, although my students seem to prefer the more boring vampire books.
ReplyDeleteI just started this one and so far, so good!
ReplyDeleteI almost got this one but decided not to in the end. I love the teaser. It reminds me of Sucks To Be Me by Kimberly Pauley. I look forward to your review :)
