The undead can really screw up your senior year . . .
Marrying a vampire definitely doesn’t fit into Jessica Packwood’s senior year “get-a-life” plan. But then a bizarre (and incredibly hot) new exchange student named Lucius Vladescu shows up, claiming that Jessica is a Romanian vampire princess by birth—and he’s her long-lost fiancé. Armed with newfound confidence and a copy of Growing Up Undead: A Teen Vampire’s Guide to Dating, Health, and Emotions, Jessica makes a dramatic transition from average American teenager to glam European vampire princess. But when a devious cheerleader sets her sights on Lucius, Jess finds herself fighting to win back her wayward prince, stop a global vampire war—and save Lucius’s soul from eternal destruction.
Review:
For me, that greatest part of Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side is that this is not your typical vampire story. Jessica does not fall head over heels at first sight. Instead she thinks Lucius is crazy, obnoxious and rude.
Within 24 hours of Lucius's arrival, Jessica's life is turned upside down. She learns from her adoptive parents that Lucius's crazy ranting's of her being a Vampire princess that was betrothed to Lucius by her birth parents is true. Not only does she learns this is true, but she learns her adoptive parents new everything and never told her.
She fights her attraction to Lucius and dates Jake, a human. Lucius continues his pursuit of Jessica and eventually Jessica begins to fall for Lucius. Just as she is about to fight for Lucius's affections, Lucius's uncles come to town and everything falls apart. Jessica must now find the strength to help her people and save the love of her life before it is to late.
I loved this book and must give it a 4 star rating. Don't forget to read the continuation of Jessica's story on www.Bethfantaskey.com. There are an additional 22 chapters that are a must read for any fan of Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side .

Product Description:
All Meg has ever wanted is to get away. Away from high school. Away from her backwater town. Away from her parents who seem determined to keep her imprisoned in their dead-end lives. But one crazy evening involving a dare and forbidden railroad tracks, she goes way too far...and almost doesn't make it back.
John made a choice to stay. To enforce the rules. To serve and protect. He has nothing but contempt for what he sees as childish rebellion, and he wants to teach Meg a lesson she won't soon forget. But Meg pushes him to the limit by questioning everything he learned at the police academy. And when he pushes back, demanding to know why she won't be tied down, they will drive each other to the edge -- and over....
Review:
Going Too Far is a must read. This story is truly unforgettable.
Meg goes too far one night and as punishment is assigned to follow John on night shifts for one week during spring vacation.
Both Meg and John have been effected by tragic events in their past. Each go to very extensive lengths to leave their lives in accordance to how their past has influenced them.
Meg has decided to live her life to the fullest and escape this small town she has lived in her entire life.
John intends to live his life by the law.
Both push the other to see the world from their eyes and by doing so push one another too far. The question is, will their love for one another with stand tests, or will they push each other too far.
This is one love story you won’t want to miss. I find myself reading this book again and again.
Jennifer Echols has written two characters that are full of strength and bravery. You will laugh, cry and find yourself routing for each character as they face each obstacle that they come up against.
