Just today (about one hour ago while I was riding the elevator up to the 5th floor at work) I began reading The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod: Ninth Grade Slays (Book 2 of 3... so far... in this YA Sci Fi series). That being said, I'm going to pull a teaser out of this book and, if you enjoy, come back later today to read my full review of book one in the series (Eighth Grade Bites). [See what I mean about the double meaning? A tease for this book and a tease for the review. I'm so slick.]
I picked this teaser (from the next page that I'll be reading) which is Vlad giving a little back story on "Aunt Nelly" catering to his "odd diet":"One big plus of living with Nelly--who was actually no relation to him at all, but his mother's best friend for years and years before his parents had passed on--was that she could bake cinnamon rolls so sweet and delicious that if she had the determination and funding, she could easily give Cinnabon a run for their money. Just stay away from her meat loaf," (p. 7).You'll see that the book is a humorous, tongue-in-cheek take on life as a teenage vampire (who ages... definitely a different twist on the traditional lore); you'll also see that the struggles of being a teenage vampire aren't that different from the struggles of being a teenage guy. Period. (Except for wanting to drink your friend's blood.)
While you're waiting for my review of Eighth Grade Bites, check out some other teasers over at the Teaser Tuesdays meme.

While I'm not a vampire fan, I like the sound of this book. I can see the appeal for teenage boys.
Sounds like a really great book just form the teaser. I love the cover as well. I might have to check this out.
What a cover!
