Not since Alicia Silverstone’s Cher in Clueless has there been a heroine so fashion savvy, smart mouthed and sassy as Lucienne Diver's Gina, the heroine of her novel Vamped. She's feisty, a little reckless, and readers won't be able to stop themselves from becoming cohorts with her.
It’s not easy being popular; but it’s hell on earth being the popular undead. No mirror will cast your reflection, which means only the most seasoned hands can don their lipstick. There's zero daylight to provide natural highlights, and the best boutiques close before sundown.
Gina quickly discovers these downsides once she’s turned vampiress. Of course the new life, for she refuses to see her undeadness as anything but, includes a delectable intellect for a boyfriend who (along with being the vampiric Big Man on Campus) actually cares about what she has to say. She also has some killer super strength and a Pollyanna attitude to keep her balanced.
It’s the other members of the undead that aren’t welcoming. In fact, the leader wants her staked, has plans to claim her boyfriend as a boy toy and is busy siring an army of high schoolers while turning them against Gina.
Feeling like a societal leper is exhausting. Battling a sociopathic psychic, giving newly vamped fashion victims a makeover and saving her boyfriend from the demonic hands of his maker, keep Gina from having too much time to dwell on the past – she’s busy taking over the future.
Lucienne Diver does a spectacular job of bringing Gina and the quirky cast of supernaturals to life. Vamped is a delightful escape into the world of a rebellious teenage vampire. Readers will not only enjoy Gina, they'll want to be her.
