Until her sixteenth birthday, being the resident smart girl was a good thing for Beth Frasier. Not being part of the popular crowd was not a big deal, yet still she was delighted when she was invited to join them. Unfortunately, they just wanted her for her brain. Even more unfortunately, the jocks that had initiated her invitation were not human. No, they weren't Neanderthals, but vampires, and after one make out session, Beth was one, too. She was assigned to find a formula to allow them to walk in the daylight, or her "master" would have to consider destroying her. On the plus side, Beth has learned there is hope for regaining her humanity, and all she needs to do is kill her maker, except that is impossible. But, she can get in a little revenge while trying to solve that problem, right?

Ms. Kenner proves that she can write for all ages with this first young adult novel. Beth's narration combines angst and humor in a sharp, witty fashion. I truly look forward to seeing how she will deal with the problems she finds herself facing at the end of the story. This may be technically a kids' book, but it is written so intelligently that anyone who likes a good read should add it to their TBR pile.
