![]() ![]() I absolutely recommend this book as great change of pace from the classic vampire story. Nina has never even tasted human blood! Nina makes an interesting hero as she and some of her friends try to find a vampire hunter who staked one of the members of reformed vampire support group. ![]() ![]() Everything that this group of vampires does is to help them survive. Nina herself is weak and barely surviving on guinea pigs and supplements. She is able to survive by writing vampire novels- about a stylized, strong, good looking vampire who saves people. The only time she really gets out of the house is to go to her Tuesday night vampire support meetings at the local church. The main character is, of course, a teenage vampire named Nina who is actually in her fifties and living with her senior citizen mother. Catherine Jinks earned major creativity points in my book when instead of making her vampires strong and good looking she made them weak and pathetic. ![]() Now although I’ve already told you that I’m sick of vampires, I love when when an author can take something that everyone is familiar with and give it their own spin. It just happened to be in the school library, so I gave it a try. There was a ridiculous output of these books after Twilight made it big, and in my opinion, it was big time overkill! My YA book group recommended the title The Reformed Vampire Support Group by Catherine Jinks as a monthly read. Honestly, I’ve been pretty sick of the vampire/werewolf genre for the last few years. ![]()
