I almost forgot to mention but Melissa Marr’s Wicked Lovely is superb! Read it, I’m sure you will like it. I’ll explain more soon. It is definitely not about vampires or werewolves, thank goodness. Other good reads are: Holly Black’s Ironside, Alex Flinn’s Beastly and A.M. Jenkins’ Repossessed.

Cynthia Leitich Smith’s Tantalize
It took me forever to finish reading Tantalize. I do enjoy the stories about werewolves and vampires but not when they are redundant and uninspiring. Tantalize is a perfect example. As my co-worker said, “It has all been done before.” So frankly, it was rather boring and dry because it didn’t offer anything new. In retrospect, I expected too much because of the book cover and summary description. Oh well.
Definitely, check out: Annette Klause’s Blood and Chocolate, Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series, Melissa De La Cruz’s Blue Blood series, Ellen Schreiber’s Vampire Kisses, and Melissa Marr’s Wicked Lovely (which I haven’t read yet but I am very excited about it because of what I’ve heard).
