This could have been so, SO much better if the story had a different focus!

There is a reason why romance novels end with a wedding, sometimes followed by a few pages of honeymoon shmexing (do not expect it in Jessica Rules the Dark Side, it is a very young YA novel). When the lovers are bound together for eternity, when there are no more misunderstandings and tension, how do you continue writing about a married couple and keep things hot and dynamic between them? Only a few authors can...more

**Firstly, thanks sooooooo much to Jess of She Known As Jess for letting me borrow her ARC! Thanks honey--you rock!**

Jessica Rules the Dark Side was a terrific follow up to Jessica’s Guide to Dating on the Dark Side, a book that surpassed all my expectations when I read it a few years ago and made it’s my into my all time fave list!
I thought for a long time that Jessica’s Guide was going to be a standalone novel, so I’ve been holding out for this book ever since I learnt of it. It’s been one of my most anticipated books to get my hands on. It doesn’t officially release until January of next year, but one of my online friends who I just love to death, Jess of She Known As Jess was kind enough to lend me her ARC so I could quench my thirst for more of Jessica and Lucius.

There are noticeable differences with this book when compared to the first. It’s darker and has lost that popular teenage school vampire story feel. This is serious now for Jess and Lucius—its life or death and they’ve come a long way since the first book. They’re together, but are soon ripped apart and it’s up to Jess to save her new husband from a painful execution.
This book jumps back and forth in the POV’s of Jess and Mindy, as well as letters corresponded between Lucius and Ranerio during his incarceration. I admit that it was nice seeing more of Mindy. She’s really spunky and has her own personality. She’s Jess’s best friend and wants to be there for her, but she also has a certain problem--and bit of a broken heart--thanks to a certain surfie vampire I won’t name, but am sure that fans of the first book will know.

Life as a royal was never going to be easy for Jess. She didn’t have the same upbringing as her husband and isn’t used to the harsh world of vampire politics and law. She went from being a regular American teenager to a princess and a wife and who finds herself set to become ruler. In this book, Jess looses herself for a bit; gone is the confident and sure girl of the past, and instead is a vampire princess just trying to find her feet in a world where weakness is despised. I loved watching Jess find herslef in this book and truly become Princess Antanasia Dragomir Vladescu. She’s not without her vulnerabilities and often makes mistakes, but she learns and at the end of this book is ready to become queen! It was so nice watching Jess accept who she was as a princess and her place within the Dragomir line. There’s a lot of growth in her during this book and she doesn’t have Lucius by her side which forces her to stand on her own two feet.

The only issue I had with this book is that it lacked a lot of the constant romance I adored with the first book. Obviously there’s a reason for that with Lucius...well...being in jail and all (LOL) but I missed him a lot during this book. That’s not to say that he and Jess aren’t electric and oh, so in love when they’re together, they are....but I just would have loved more of Lukey! He’s so strong, and noble and fierce and so incredibly in love with his wife. Just the way he speaks of her in his letters to his best friend; that noble prose of his.....*swoon* There’s nothing he wouldn’t do for Jess and all hell would break loose if anyone ever hurt a hair on her head, but in this book he’s forced to let her discover strength within herself to rule and make to decisions without him being there to guide her.

There’s mystery surrounding this book, although about halfway through I was pretty sure who the culprit was. This doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy the ride thought, because boy....did I ever! There’s no real cliff-hanger to this book, but it leaves you wondering and I for one would certainly love to see a third book, just to see what becomes of Jess and Lucius.

But when evidence in the murder of a powerful elder points to Lucius, sending him into solitary confinement, Jessica is suddenly on her own.

Jessica knows that with no blood to drink, Lucius’s time is running out. Can she figure out who the real killer is—and whom she can trust—before it’s too late?

Lissa Reviews

I was elated to see that Beth Fantaskey stuck with the simple but elegant cover that reflects on the first installment Jessica titled Jessica’s Guide to Dating on the Dark Side. And the quote on the cover of this installment in the Jessica series made all the more alluring… “It’s one thing to find out you’re a vampire princess. It’s a whole other thing to actually rule.” I dove right into the continuing sage of Jessica (born Anastasia) and Lucius having been given a glimpse of Jessica’s human world merging with her destined world in book one I was excited to visit Jessica and Lucius and see how the two would fit together in the vampire world.

Beth Fantaskey gives the reader a treat interlocking the story with multiple POV’s with mystery. It keeps on edge and can be a bit confusing as you are trying to figure out the questions… Who is the killer? Can Jessica handle reigns without Lucius by her side? What’s up with hovering cousin and Uncle? Better yet… What about Ronnie and Mindy? If you are an emotional involved reader like me you will find yourself rushing through to find clues what happens next.

The storyline is exceptionally written; Fantaskey continues Jessica and Lucius’s love story full circle and adds new characters while weaving a thrilling plot. Although Lucius trusts Jessica’s ability to set him free she doesn’t. I was floored that Jessica spends more than half the book feeling sorry for herself. That is until Ronnie gives her the push she needs to make a stand and grow into her destined role.

One of my favorite parts was the email exchanges between Lucius and, his cousin Ronnie he calls brother. They are witty and show the uproarious side of the rebellious Lucius that we would never see from “Prince Lucius” otherwise.

Although I was elated to dive deeper into the lives Jessica and Lucius I found myself more engrossed with the Ronnie and Mindy storyline and await for their story to continue in future sequels. It was a joy glimpsing the story through Mindy eye as well and the struggles she faced in Jessica’s world loving a vampire.

My final thoughts… Jessica has come a long way from being a human county gal who has to muck stalls to a ruling vampire, blood drinking princess. The book itself is complete the story itself is not. I anticipate Jessica and Lucius story to continue as they appeal to the elders for votes to be up lifted to heir destined position as King and Queen.

THE DARK VAMPIRE LORE IS BACK TO RULE!

The Dark Vampire Lore is powerfully back in Jessica Rules the Dark Side! This time, Fanaskey transport us to the land of Romanian with castles, Carpathians, blood, stakes, love, friendship, betrayal and etc! Fantaskey definitely know how to turn a teen paranormal love story into a great Vampire novel that reaches beyond of today' s typical good vampire and brings back the essence of the Classic Dark Vampire Lore.

Jessica never really knew how to be a Vampire, much less a Princess. Jessica Rules the Dark Side puts Jessica in a very complicate situation and she must confront all of the powerful vampires in order to prove them, and to herself, that she is the Dragomir Princess and the one day to-be-Queen of them all. Yet, the situation is much more complicate than it sounds. Prince Lucius Vladescu, Jessica/Princess Antanasia's husband, has been accused of murder and imprisoned without blood until Jessica finds the real assassin. Now, Jessica has to rules without the love of her life by her side and find a way, and soon, to free Lucius from what could become a disastrous and irreversible event.

Jessica and Lucius are absolutely one of the best and most wonderful couple I have read in a long time! Fantaskey, in Jessica Rules the Dark Side, clearly portraits a solid, powerful and healthy love and I am so glad to see that there are not relationship problems' at all. No insecurities, no jealousy, no fights. Only respect, admiration, loyalty and love. Wonderful, isn't it? Raniero (Lucius best friend) and Mindy (Jessica's best friend) are also back and with more than a simple support role! Raniero and Mindy have a story on their own and I am strongly wishing that Fantaskey will write a book/series for this couple that certainly deserves it! In addition, the story is told from these four characters' point of view. Yet it is always Jessica's perspective that dominates the book. I think I really loved to read chapters from Mindy or the letter/email exchanges between Lucius and Raniero! that certainly made this book different! Still, not only this different POVs makes this book different, but also the setting. Now, Jessica is married to Lucious and living in Romania as the Vampire Princess she was born to be. Yes, in a centuries-old castle in the middle of a breath-taking landscape! Whoa!

Vampire books became so, so popular that even now the market is focusing into something different. Yet, reading Fantaskey's Vampire books feels always so refreshing. Beth Fantaskey vampires are much more darker and closer to the classic vampire lore than some other vampires in YA books. And as a lover of Dracula, Nosferatu and Vampire: The Masquerade myself, I am glad to see some of this Dark/Evil vampire side into Fantaskey's world.

Highly entertaining with a wonderful dose of romance, Fantaskey successfully combines the paranormal with a hint of mystery that will definitely engage readers until the last page! So, if you read Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side, I highly recommend you to pick up this book since is even better than the first one! and if you haven't, then go get both of them asap because these books are definitely a great addition to paranormal lovers' shelves!(less)

This sequel is immensely darker than its predecessor, following Jessica as she steps into her new role as Princess Antanasia, wife of Prince Lucius (spoiler for book one? whoops). The novel begins several months into their marriage with Jess struggling to become regal. Things only get worse when Lucius, trying to prove that they have what it takes to become king and queen, is framed for the murder of one of the Elder vampires. Jessica now has to take over his duties while he is locked away awaiting trial, which author Beth Fantaskey makes very clear she is nowhere ready to do. On top of that she has to find a way to prove Lucius’s innocence with the help of high school best friend Mindy, cowardly Elder and uncle Dorin, “loser” cousin Ylenia and Lucius’s closest friend and cousin Raniero. But not all of her allies turn out to be the most trustworthy and may play a bigger part in Lucius’s framing than they seem.

As usual Fantaskey’s supporting characters all come with their little charms and quirks that make them endearing. I was so excited to see Mindy step into a real role in the sequel, whereas in the first she was sort of pushed aside most of the time and kept in the dark about Jessica’s vampirism. Now she’s in on the whole thing and actually steps up to contribute to the plot while still remaining the flippant best friend we’ve come to know and love. Very refreshing to have her in the story, as she pretty much serves as the only reminder that the first novel even happened.

However it is Dorin, Ylenia and Raniero who prove to provide the most substance to the whole murder mystery. From the start you can figure out who probably isn’t as innocent as they seem, yet this knowledge seems to elude Jessica despite obvious hints and remarks. Raniero however keeps readers guessing as to his true allegiance, all while retaining a certain charm and charisma only an assassin turned surfer vampire can possess.

While Lucius’s incarceration is necessary to the plot, it is no less heartbreaking for someone who has fallen in love with him from the first novel. Fantaskey still finds ways to insert bits of his sarcastic humor and romantic allure despite his physical absence, but those looking for a continuation of his and Jessica’s chemistry unfortunately won’t find much of it here minus maybe two or three “awwww” moments.

I was pleased to see Jessica finally step up to her new royal status, even though it took nearly 200 pages for her to finally have her “I am strong!” epiphany. Up until that point the story was honestly rather slow. After her realization, though, the plot really picks up and becomes the “who dunnit?” mystery the book has been building up to. The reader has somewhat of an idea how it will all end, but a few twists and unexpected clues still provide those moments of shock that make a compelling story.

Final Word: Jessica Rules the Dark Side is almost written for an entirely new audience, its tone shifting from an adorable YA to a dark crime novel. With a few minor tweaks it could probably stand on its own as there are very few connections to the first book. For those looking for honest-to-goodness fluff, you might want to choose something else and let Jessica’s Guide to Dating on the Dark Side be a solitary work. But if you want less romance and more shadowy mystery and character history, it’s worth a read.(less)

Davvero, Promessi Vampiri - The Dark Side, che sono finalmente riuscita a leggere, mi ha catturata dall'inizio alla fine!

E' sempre stato un sogno di molte bambine, a quell'età, pensare al proprio futuro immaginandosi principesse. Ma cosa succede quando, per amore, ti ritrovi ad esserlo davvero? Chiedetelo a Jessica aka Anastasia Dragomir Vladescu, nuova principessa del clan di vampiri della Romania, il più potente al mondo. Perchè il matrimonio da favola con Lucius Vladescu, il suo amato neo marito, è stato lo splendido inizio di una vita tutt'altro che semplice come potrebbe sembrare! I capitoli sul matrimonio mi hanno emozionata tantissimo, ero idealmente circondata dalle stesse sensazioni di mistero e fascino che accompagnano spesso le tradizioni antiche, cose che hanno, sicuramente, colpito la nostra protagonista quando è entrata a far parte di questo mondo.

Ma in questo clima di felicità e futuro ricongiungimento di due clan vampireschi molto importanti, non tutti sono favorevoli. Insomma, c'è sempre qualcuno che mette il bastone fra le ruote nelle questioni politiche di un regno, e Jessica -no, Anastasia- inizierà a capirlo e a sentirsi fuori luogo, dato che il motivo principale per cui lei e Lucius devono temere un possibile rifiuto da parte degli Anziani e del resto dei vampiri nel ricevere il voto di fiducia per diventare re e regina... è proprio l'incapacità di regnare da parte di Anastasia. E' tutto così nuovo e difficile, imparare a comportarsi in maniera adeguata e imperiosa non sarà affatto semplice per un'americana come lei. Quell'unica volta in cui non riesce a reggere la consapevolezza che Lucius debba distruggere un vampiro come risultato di un'udienza, facendo una brutta figura davanti a tutti, fa accrescere in lei la sensazione di non essere adatta a quel ruolo, quasi di voler mollare. Poi però arriva Lucius e con lui ogni brutto pensiero può attendere.

Il loro amore è così sincero, passionale e romantico che non ha bisogno di smancerie, solo di poche parole, sguardi intensi, quei piccoli gesti che confermano la fiducia reciproca e il forte sentimento che non li abbandona mai. Sebbene questo libro sia stato incentrato più sulla crescita interiore di Anastasia che su lei e Lucius come coppia, i momenti che insieme condividevano erano sempre magici ed emozionanti, da far attorcigliare lo stomaco!

Promessi Vampiri - The Dark Side permette ad Anastasia di varcare finalmente il confine che divideva la semplice ragazza americana che era stata dalla principessa del clan dei Dragomir e futura regina dei Vladescu nascosta dentro di lei. E quando Lucius verrà arrestato per qualcosa che non ha fatto -la distruzione di suo zio Claudiu, dopo un pesante litigio davanti a tutti gli Anziani, provata grazie alla macchia di sangue della vittima sul suo paletto- Anastasia sa bene che la vita di suo marito dipende unicamente da lei. Da lei e...

E' qui che tutto si fa più interessante. Il continuo contrasto fra amici e nemici, quelli che le ruotano accanto per nascondere i sospetti e quelli che, nonostante i loro problemi, vogliono aiutarla nella sua battaglia per la giustizia e la verità. L'amica Mindy e il cugino di Lucius, Raniero, fra cui vedremo una grande intesa oppressa dai ricordi del passato e dai dubbi sul futuro. Ylena e Dorin Dragomir, cugina e zio di Anastasia che le staranno accanto continuamente per aiutarla nelle riunioni. E gli Anziani, che continuano a metterla alla prova e premono per condannare -o no?- Lucius.

Anastasia dovrà farsi coraggio, reagire, imparare a combattere fra mille difficoltà, riconoscere chi vuole aiutarla e chi cerca di sviare le sue indagini. E ci riuscirà, diventerà la bellissima principessa che Lucius ha riconosciuto in lei, autoritaria ma giusta, così fiera di sè da rendere orgoglioso uno dei pochi che ha saputo davvero credere in lei fino alla fine.
Una storia che, sin dal primo libro, ha ammaliato milioni di lettrici ed è riuscito a farlo ancora una volta con questo volume. Speriamo che, come è successo per il matrimonio, Beth Fantaskey ci proponga uno splendido speciale sulla tanto immaginata incoronazione di Anastasia e Lucius!(less)

I'll even accept that it's cool to become a vampire.

The plot picks up with Jessica already married to Lucius and now a full-time princess struggling with her duties. She's worried about not being good enough for Lucius, not being confident or knowledgeable enough to rule the vamps and not being strong enough to fulfill the tasks given to her.

Things get harder when Lucius is jailed for a crime she's sure--pretty sure--he didn't commit. If he'd convicted, he will have to be destroyed, and as the one who inherits the throne, Jessica will have to be the one to destroy him.

Wouldn't that be a cool moment? For her, as the successor and superior, to look into the eyes of her husband and have to choose between responsibility and love, knowing that whichever path she picks will be terrible?

Yeah, that'd be interesting, but it's not that kind of series. If this were, say, the Hunger Games, it would be totally acceptable for that situation to arise. But in Jessica Rules the Dark Side... it just wouldn't work.

One of the flaws of Fantaskey's Jessica books is that they're unsure of where they stand. Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side was, for the most part, a chick flick with a bit of satire sprinkled in. Towards the end of that book, it tried to play the darker, more suspenseful angle that Twilight wanted to play. Jessica Rules the Dark Side is closer to the second half of its predecessor. It wants to be dark and dramatic and taken seriously, but at the same time, it kinda sorta tries to stay closish to its chick flick roots.

It tries by throwing us the narrative of Mindy, who was one of Jessica's friends in Dating on the Dark Side. Mindy is having relationship problems with Raniero, Lucius's smoking hot vampire cousin who's next in line to the throne. Basically, the subplot is Mindy staring holes into the back of Raniero's head and wishing they were still dating, but, like, she won't take him back because he can't commit.

This was an annoying and largely unnecessary subplot that was used to beef the book up to the required three hundred pages, as well as to distract from how thin the Jessica plot was.

And it's thin. It's Jessica, praying her husband isn't guilty, moping around her castle being lonely and spending a tiny amount of time trying to figure out who actually committed the crime Lucius was accused of. As I said, prolonged angst. The grand reveal in the end is pretty pathetic, because I could have guessed it from page one, but there wasn't really enough evidence for it to make sense. It was convoluted and dumb.

The first book had its flaws but was pretty cute and acceptable. This installment is unnecessary and I wish the author had decided against a sequel. It lacks humor and good characters, and overall casts a shadow on the otherwise charming Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side. If you're interested in these books, I would recommend stopping after the first one. (less)

Jessica Rules the Dark Side
(Jessica Series, Book #2)
by Beth Fantaskey

Genre: Young Adult | Paranormal Romance

(Jessica Series, Book #2)
by Beth Fantaskey

Genre: Young Adult | Paranormal Romance

When Jessica Packwood found out she was a Romanian vampire princess, she had the shock of her teenage life. Turns out that was the easy part. Now, married to Prince Lucius Vladescu, she has to claim her throne and convince a vampire nation she’s fit to be their queen. But Jess can’t even order a decent meal from her castle’s Romanian staff, let alone deal with devious undead subjects who would love to see her fail.

And when Lucius is accused of murdering a vampire Elder and imprisoned without the blood he needs, Jessica finds herself alone, fighting for both their survivals. Desperate to clear her husband’s name and win his release, Jess enlists the help of her best friend Mindy Stankowicz and Lucius’s mysterious Italian cousin, Raniero Lovatu. But both of them are keeping some dark secrets. Can Jess figure out who to trust – and how to rise to power – before she loses everything, including the vampire she loves?

Full of romance, mystery, and danger, the highly anticipated sequel to Jessica’s Guide to Dating on the Dark Side shows that sometimes a princess has to earn her “happily ever after” – with a sharpened stake in hand.

Settling into married life can be an adventure, but also quite difficult . . . especially if you're a newly-turned vampire princess ( Princess Antanasia Dragomir Vladescu ) who is lacking in power and your husband has been recently accused for a crime that could easily carry a death sentence. Having always had someone strong to stand by her her whole life, Jessica, for the first time ever, much now stand alone and hopefully gain some much needed strength/confidence/knowledge to free her husband from his falsely accused crime. Can she find the proof that Lucius's needs in time?

The murder suspense builds quickly throughout this continuation book for Jessica, but the overall tale carries a much darker plot line than the first in the series - something I did not enjoy so much. I felt the story was lacking the quirky romance that I praised so much in Book #1, but I did like that some well-loved past characters took on a stronger role ( Mindy & Raniero ). Expect lots of climatic vampire drama for the new couple, but the story fell short for me since Book #2 carried on like a whole new story (not part of a series) . . . sure there were the same characters, but the feel to the book was moody, bleak, and just very heavy with the grim subject matter (lots of gruesome death, dank prison cells, creepy cemeteries, etc.), making it difficult to enjoy throughout, compared to Book #1's silliness and whimsical charm.

Likes: Raniero grew on me! At first, I wasn't so keen on him, but in the end, I really liked him a lot . . . maybe b/c I'm such a fan of character development and his whole troubled back-story was revealed throughout the book.

Dislikes: Jessica was very whiny and hopeless at times, ugh!(less)

Jessica and Lucius are married (read the Wedding Chapters!) and living in Romania. Things aren't starting out well-- even though their marriage is supposed to end an ancient feud, Claudiu, and evil elder is found murdered, and Lucius is blamed for it. Jessica is trying her best to rule the way that her mother would have, but she is besieged by dreams, unable to stomach the violent punishments she and Lucius must hand out, and misses her home and friend Mindy Sue.

Jessica / Antanasia finalmente ha coronato il suo sogno d'amore sposando l'affascinante principe vampiro Lucius Vladescu.
Dopo il matrimonio, la nostra principessa vampira, si ritrova però a fare i conti con un mondo completamente diverso da quello dove ha sempre vissuto fino a quel momento.
Mentre nel primo libro era Lucius a doversi inserire in un contesto umano e moderno, in questo libro tocca alla ragazza cercare di integrarsi con il suo nuovo popolo vampiresco, in una terra lontana.
All'inizio Antanasia non riesce a fare a meno di sentirsi a disagio e a compiere così delle gaffe in presenza dei vampiri Anziani del Consiglio, si sente demoralizzata e si chiede se sarà mai in grado di diventare una forte regina vampira (ai livelli della sua vera madre). Ma in quel regno dove le distruzioni sono all'ordine del giorno, non è per niente facile, le le persone che le stanno intorno potrebbero non essere proprio degne di fiducia...
In seguito ad un omicidio, che sembra apparentemente essere stato commesso da Lucius e per il quale, come da legge, verrà condannato alla reclusione, Antanasia dovrà in ogni modo combattere la sua incertezza e le sue paure, trovando il modo di scoprire il vero colpevole e salvare così la vita del marito. In tutto questo non sarà completamente sola, infatti potrà contare almeno su due persone: Raniero, il vampiro surfista e abbronzato nonchè testimone dello sposo e Mindy, la migliore amica di sempre, arrivata in Romania, per stare vicina all'amica, proprio nel momento meno opportuno . Oltre ad Antanasia e Lucius, nel libro, molti capitoli sono dedicati a Mindy e a Raniero, due personaggi che credo adorerete da subito come me. Avrete modo di conoscere il passato oscuro del vampiro surfista e anche di scoprire che cosa è successo al matrimonio (e oltre...), tra i due amici degli sposi.
Chi ha cercato di incolpare Lucius e impedirgli così l'ascesa al trono? Antanasia riuscirà a prendere le redini della situazione e a smascherare il vero colpevole, dimostrando di essere una degna regina? Non vi resta che leggere il libro per scoprire come si evolverà la storia e sperare nel lieto fine!
Ho trovato nel complesso il libro molto carino e scorrevole. Direi un buon seguito del primo che già mi era piaciuto. Solo una cosa... ho capito subito chi era il vero colpevole! E voi?!(less)

Lucius était drôle, Jess était intelligente, et l'histoire était vraiment très bonne. Malheureusement, mon avis sur la suite n'est pas très enthousiaste.

- Nous retrouvons donc Jess et Lucius en Roumanie, dans leurs rôles de Prince et Princesse des vampires. Ils doivent convaincre la communauté vampirique qu'ils sont aptes à être enfin Roi et Reine. Cependant le chemin pour y arriver est semé d'embuches. Jess a du mal à se faire à sa nouvelle vie, et tout bascule lorsque Lucius est enfermé car accusé de meurtre.

- Le scénario est trop simple, dès les premières pages j'avais plus ou moins compris le manège qui se tramait, et qui était coupable. Pareil pour Choukette et Aily qui avaient tout de suite deviné ! Cette histoire prévisible a un peu gâché ma lecture.

- Le grand absent de ce second tome est Lucius. On le voit en première partie, et puis ensuite ce n'est qu'épisodique. C'est dommage. Sa prétention et son humour m'ont manqué (même s'il y en a un peu, surtout lors de ses échanges avec Raniero). Quant à Jess, c'est une catastrophe. Elle ne fait que chouiner sur son sort 80% de l'histoire, et ça m'a sérieusement agacée. Elle n'a pas confiance en elle, se laisser aller, ne cherche pas plus loin que le bout de son nez... En bref, elle est devenue fade.

- Il y a quand même une petite bouffée d'air frais avec les nouveaux personnages. J'ai eu un gros coup de coeur pour Raniero, le cousin Italien de Lucius, ainsi que pour Mindy, la meilleure amie de Jess. Bien qu'au début, j'ai trouvé qu'ils arrivaient comme un cheveux sur la soupe. En effet, il semble qu'on fait connaissance avec eux dans l'histoire du mariage de Lucius et Jess, que je n'ai pas lue (On peut la trouver ici).
Au départ Mindy peu paraître un peu superficielle, mais au final elle se révèle être un personnage attachant, drôle et plein d'entrain.
Raniero est le vampire-hippie par excellence. J'ai adoré son flegme et son accent. Et derrière cette carapace se cache de sombres secrets ;) c'est donc un personnage captivant et intéressant.

- Concernant l'écriture je n'ai rien à dire, la plume de Beth Fantaskey est de qualité et se lit très vite et facilement. De plus, la narration à double voix (Mindy et Jess) ne rend la lecture que plus addictive.

- En conclusion, j'ai été globalement déçue de ma lecture, même si j'ai aimé les nouveaux personnages. L'histoire est trop prévisible, Lucius trop absent et Jess trop chiante.

Shelves: 2012, ya

I really enjoyed the way this story is told, with the four voices. Not every author can pull this off and make each voice distinctive. Fantaskey does this and more.
Each person's outlook on what is happening adds both to their charactersization and to the overall plot. Mindy and Raniero are great additions to the story. I enjoyed Mindy's outlook and why she started to suspect the person she does. It's funny and smart. Raniero is another well-done character and the ambiguity of his personality, o...more

This is the second book in a trilogy. If you have not yet read the first book, Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side, this review will be a spoiler.

The only way for Jessica to save him is to find out who the real murderer is. Fortunately, her wac...more

To be frank, at first I wasn't into it. Jessica is wasting away, she's whinny and hopeless, Lucius is loving and sweet and doting. All I kept thinking was WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? And what have you done with the fun characters from Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side? However, I didn't give up, because of Mindy and Raniero- well mostly Raniero.

Raniero, the surfer/beatnik vampire with a history of horror, is Lucius's cousin and the saviour of the start of the story. If it wasn't for the banter, via emails, between the two and the unfolding of his past I likely would have given up on this story. But I didn't, and I'm glad, because eventually Jessica pulls it together and this becomes a fun mystery story. I'm warning you though, it takes awhile.

My main grievances with this book are the character flips. None of these people felt like the same ones I'd just read about, and that was frustrating. Yes I expected Jessica and Lucius to be money newlyweds, but I didn't expect them to have lost all of who they were. Where was Lucius's arrogance and snottly humorous disdain of the little things? Or Jessica's mathelete prowess and funny tshirts? Why were there no lentils and kittens, or jokes thereof? And why did Mindy sound borderline illiterate? "I don't wanna" is maybe not the most intelligent response in a serious moment, and she's not really supposed to be an idiot- just a bit of an airhead, no?

That being said, I did get into the mystery once it finally got underway, and Jessica's final transformation was enjoyable, though a bit overdue. I'm pretty sure this book heralds the end of the series, which is probably good as I can't see where it could go from this point on, and the ends are all tied off nicely in the final pages.

Not as satisfying as book the first, but most readers will likely be interested in what happens to Jessica post wedding and will want to pick up Jessica Rules the Dark Side.

Wow. I'd forgotten how much I loved Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side, but reading this brought it all back... I really need to go reread it now!!

This novel is written from various points of view: from Mindy and Jess's narration, to emails from Lucius, the book jumps from one place to the next, dragging the reader along on a dynamic journey... and Raniero, as a 'mystery' character, is a great edition to this cast of narrators, who, let's face it, we already know quite a lot about.

From the back of the book it sounded a little childish but I found that I really liked it so I was happy when a second in the series was released and jumped at the chance to read it.

Good:
Jessica Packwood/Anastasia Dragomir is back and now in a role of power. It was interesting seeing Jessica is this role where she clearly didn’t fit and because she almost didn’t want to. But eventually out pops the determined Jess that we saw in the first novel, except this time she’s already admitted that she love good old Lukey.

Lucius is back. The Sexy strong vampire that rules Romania still makes me sigh.

Also: We are introduced to some new characters and get to see some of the story through their point of view. Mr. R is an interesting character that undergoes his own transformation back to something he never wanted to be again and even he is sexy. What is with these Vladescu men? And we get Mindy telling some of the story and she seems to be the smartest and most observant of them all in this book which just goes to show how much stress Jess is really under.

Raniero: Clearly hot and sexy, but also mysterious, filled with wisdom and one of the most badass vampires there are. And of course you can’t help but feel sorry for the guy. And all of this is cloaked in his hobo-surfer-dude look. Sigh. And his mysterious background is a nice twist and a nice touch to the story

Bad:
The book was a little slow, mainly because Jess was basically a horrible character (which is what Fantaskey wanted, don’t worry) for the first half of this book until she gets off her butt and starts taking action. It bothered me that Jess was the kind of girl that would let herself slip away and not fight even for the smallest of seconds.

Another thing: Called it from the beginning. About the exact moment that Mindy is talking to Jess in her spare room is when I called the mystery behind the whole story. Although I didn’t entirely put Raniero’s story together until near the end.

Overall (Writing style, story line, and general):
Overall the writing style was well done the characters are likeable, expect for the bad guys but I’m assuming that intentional. The story was a pretty good one as Jess had to prove herself not only for Lucius but for their throne and future and she had to become a woman who could be fully independent if need be.

Quotes from Jessica Rules the Dark...

“Fear is the worst kind of grave, because it buries one alive.” — 32 people liked it

“I also need you to "spread the word," quietly, that if any harm should come to Antanasia during my imprisonment, I will not only tear down these walls stone by stone, but -- once freed -- shatter the rule of law and destroy, with great satisfaction, anyone who arouses in me even the slightest suspicion. Indeed, if so much as one hair on my wife's head is disturbed while I cannot protect her, this kingdom will see retribution that will go down in the history books -- to be read by the very few who remain standing.
