Forced, sophomoric, cliched and unfunny, reading 10 pages felt like a total waste of my time. The introduction itself should have been a warning, but I was hoping the tips themselves would at least be entertaining.... They weren't.
Essentials for the Vampire Paramour..
Yes, I know, not all of us have Vampire Lovers, illicit or otherwise.
But some of us do.
I'm naming no names, Bel.. oh, my bad. Ahem, well, there are certain of us who need to travel, or maybe even go on the run with a hunky Vamp or hot Vampess. And that could lead to.. difficulties.
Can you take that gorgeous bod as a carry-on? Just how warm should the boudoir be...how much does your cool one eat, and do you need to provide the meal yourself(!) And for the gree...more

I made the decision to download and read this book because it sounded funny, and it did not disappoint! There are, as the title suggests, 101 tips for traveling with a vampire. These tips are often aimed at the human who must help a vampire travel, because according to the author, sometimes being a vampire means you have to travel quite a bit. And since vampires can only travel at night or in dark places, and they need to feed or drink blood on a regular basis, well.. as the human companion trav...more
Ok yes, this was incredibly short and some of the "tips" were more common sense when travelling in general but there were a few that were pretty funny. I even laughed out loud on a couple....like making the joke to you vampire friend that rabbits are "fast food" and that they just might not find this joke funny. Sorry I did find that funny.
Anyways it was free and I'd recommend the short book to anyone hooked on the vampire craze at the moment, just because if you are reading the novels chances a...more

This book, for me, was highly disappointing. I was expecting so much more. The author tries to be funny, but fails at it. A lot of the book is very cliche and cheesey. Most of the tips were things that you would do with anyone, not just a vampire. Also, most of the tips are common sense things that you do while traveling. The character is never explained in the book, or given any background. In the introduction, her thoughts and sentences are very sloppy and flighty. Instead of explaining why sh...more
I figured this would be like a funny list. But most of it was stuff you would do no matter who you was traveling with.
This was a cute little collection but I felt like it could have benefited from anecdotes or other little tidbits to add to the overall tips. There's no reason a collection like this couldn't have a great little design but that doesn't translate as well over e-books. I would love to see it in print and see what a good designer would do with it with a little bit of extras added. Otherwise, what is there is funny enough sometimes but because there's not really a story there, it really is just readi...more
This is just like the title says, a list of tips for traveling...in some cases with your vampire. Some are common sense for normal traveling because things like "don't drink the water" rarely have anything to do with the immortal undead. There are some points in this that made me smile though and there were some valid points as well when it comes to vampires. There are also a few jokes thrown in that are a bit funny. Though overall it was kind of a dull and quick read. It seems to be tied in wit...more
I have not read anything by this author before, but her wit and sarcastic nature intrigue me. This book wouldn't be for just anyone. If you enjoy vampire anything this is worth the quick read. The only thing that may offend your vampire senses is that the author uses her own pretenses for what vampires are or aren't.
If you don't know how to answer the question: How does a vampire board a cruise ship in the daytime? well then, you need this book.

Free short story.
Exactly what the title implies - tips for traveling with your vampire lover. What to pack, motel etiquette, and whether or not to go by car, boat, train or air.
I was going to say this was "mildly amusing" but since I chuckled at, maybe, 4 of the tips (actually 126 if you add the 25 on basic "living with your vampire") I decided I really can not say it was worth the time.

I downloaded this book as a free B-Book thinking that it would be mildly entertaining. A short story it is but it really made me laugh. After the travel tips, then the bonus tips I had to go and get book one, Shades of Gray in the Amaranthine series. This much cheese, wit, humor in such a short snipit and I had to know what exactly what kinds of adventures Katelina and her vamp experience.

101 Tips for Traveling with a Vampire was a funny and very quick read. I absolutely loved it. Joleene Naylor lists tips and short explantions on the reason for the tip. She had me laughing through each tip. This is a great book to have on hand, especially if you have a short reading time and want to read something light and funny.
this was a very quick read that i downloaded to take my mind off things while my husband was in surgery. it didnt disapoint. i found myself getting strange looks from others in the waiting room as a snickered at some of the pointers on the list. if you are looking for a quick read that will make smile this is the book for you.
What a riot this little piece was. I only got it cause it had a sneak preview of the second book in Naylor's Amaranthine series, "Legacy of Ghosts" The first book is "Shades of Gray" and I need to review that one cause...well, I guess I should save it for the review. Back to point, I bought "101 Tips.." for the sneak peek, but the 101 tips are pretty damn funny. You really need to read "Shades of Gray to appreciate the tips, but I must say tip #28 gave me the giggles . And the best thing is the...more
A light hearted list of good points for whenvtraveling with your ubdead nearest and dearest.
The language is simplistic and the style is very casual which together make it very childish. These things are ok for a short list book, but could become tiresome in a lengthy book.
All in all a quick, smile enducing read

These are must know ideas when traveling with a blood sucking companion. Also many will work with children (nearly the same thing really). It was a fun read with 25 tips for making your vamp/human relationship work thrown in for fun. Loved it.
I found this book either free or very cheap on nook and since I've got a thing about vampires (and some other paranormal/undead/etc.) I figured I'd give it a shot. It's GREAT! I couldn't stop laughing with so many of the tips, but they make sense.
What a cute, funny and lighthearted little story! Read it while waiting on my husband to trade in two games at Best Buy tonight. LOL Love the narrator's voice and am so happy I downloaded the first 'real' book in the series as well.
For the most part, this was completely cheesy and lame. Except for my personal favorite tip, "Don't be surprised when you have to inform your vampire that furniture shopping does not consist of looking for a new coffin."
Thank gosh this was a freebie because I found it boring as heck. I recommend this book, story, well whatever it was to anybody who has about 15 minutes or so they need to waste.
Laughed all the way through. What a cleverly written book! It actually includes some sound traveling advice, even if you aren't traveling with a vampire friend. It's witty, sarcastic, and all in all a very quick and fun read!
I loved this book! It was a quick read and really made me laugh. These travel tips are definitely geared towards more "traditional" vampires who aren't able to go out in the sun, so if your pet vampire is more modern, you may have to make a few adjustments, since packing a coffin might not be necessary.
A very funny quick read. I laughed a lot reading this short tip book. It is quirky, funny and yet you get a sense of almost realism from it. I enjoyed this a lot.
Ok, when you just need a good laugh while reading, this was great! yes, most of it IS commen sense, but some of the kickers had me laughing out loud, that rabbits are fast food just sent me over giggling and my kids and family looking at me! Short it may be but it perfect to break up the current book I am reading for alittle laughter. Author also included 25 more tips for living with a vampire and a short story after.

Funny book - fictional. I love how the author threw in a Twilight mention.
The tips could be viable. I wish she had written more.

A free kindle book. It was entertaining enough that I read it in one day, but I wasn't willing to pay for the next book in the series.
101 Tips for Traveling with a Vampire is just that: a list of tips for traveling with a vampire. It made me laugh. I liked it.
Good short read, sounded like the narrator was speaking from experience making every mistake along the way.
Not the best read, but what to expect? There were 101 tips after all (included bonus tips).
