What if the characters in a vampire novel left their world--and came into yours?Amy is in love with someone who doesn't exist: Alexander Banks, the dashing hero in a popular series of vampire novels. Then one night, Amy meets a boy who bears an eerie resemblance to Alexander. In fact, he IS Alexander, who has escaped from the pages of the book and is in hot pursuit of a wicked vampire named Vigo. Together, Amy and Alexander set out to track Vigo and learn how and why Alexander crossed over. But when she and Alexander begin to fall for each other, Amy wonders if she even wants him to ever return to the realm of fiction.
I was instantly in love with
this book! The characters, the attitude, just everything! I soon as I picked it
up it never left my hand.
What first caught my eye was
the cover. It is really beautiful! It's dark. It also gets you wondering who is
the very dark guy wondering the street, and why is the girl hiding behind the
wall? So anyways the cover instantly caught my eye!
The main character, Amy was a
character I liked within the first five pages! She is a lot like me. Standing
in line to get a book. Yea, just like me! :D She was really a great character.
I would love to have her as a best friend! Alexander was a hot, brooding,
fictional character comes to life in Amy's world. I loved him! I always get
weak in the knees for hot brooding guys. Alexander was great in many ways. I
really wish some of my favorite male characters would come to life! Amy's
sister bothered me in the beginning. Some of her action's made me really mad,
but she is a sister..
There was just enough humor,
violence, and mystery for me! This book had it all! I was laughing on minute
with Amy and her friends then biting my nails in suspense the next!
One thing that has stuck with
me is the mention of Shepherds Pie. This is a delicious food medley!
The first time I had one was in Florida on vacation, at McGware's. I
loved it! I just thought it was funny that it was mentioned in the book.
