Bite Me! by Melissa Francis

This was an amazing, hilarious book full of south humor and vampire fiction. AJ (Ariel Jane) Ashe is a 17-year-old vampire who's mom marries her (ex) boyfriend's dad (Rick). She struggles to stay away from him as he not-dates a girl named Lindsey. At the bonfire before school starts, AJ tries to re-bound with Noah James, a soccer player like her. She drinks a beer, thereby losing control of her instincts. She is filled with a lust high and starts making out with him, but she bites his tongue after he tries to get rough with her. After being stopped abruptly when Bridget (one of her BFF's, the other is Malia) and Ryan (her stepbrother/ex-boyfriend) come along, she blacks out and wakes up in her room. Noah is found beaten, bitten and dead two days later, and a few days after that, becomes an undead vampire (a dichampyre). AJ feels guilty and thinks it was her fault that he's dead, but it was a snake bite that killed him. AJ goes through a Hell of a first week of school. She gets framed for cheating, and gets suspended. Photoshopped pictures of her making out with the hot social studies teacher, Mr. Charles, are posted on Facebook by a person who hacked her account. AJ finds out her parents were from the Serpentine line of vampires, and that she may play a part in some mysterious prophecy. I give this book four stars. (****) I really liked it. I read 175 pages of it just today and finished it. Much better than I expected. Remember kids, don't always judge a book by it's cover!
I really can't wait till Melissa Francis's second book, Love Sucks!, comes out. More AJ Ashe please! :)
