  <default_description>Mina Hamilton's parents want her dead. (Or undead to be precise.) They're vampires, and like it or not, Mina must decide whether to become a vampire herself. But Mina's more interested in hanging out with best friend Serena and trying to catch the eye of the too-hot-for-high-school Nathan Able than in the vampire training classes she's being forced to take. How's a girl supposed to find the perfect prom date and pass third-year French when her mom and dad are breathing down her neck--literally?</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I never thought I'd say this- but this is a fresh, funny and absorbing spin on the done-to-death (no pun intended)theme of vampires. Mina's character is believably 16, the adults in her life supportive and caring, and her social life and its teen dramas realistic enough to make me have some of my ow...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44655683">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Girl power - hold the angst (well, most of it anyways). This was a delightful read with a catchy premise. The author kept the mood light even when the subject at hand was, at times, serious. <br/><br/>Campy fun without any of the gothic melodrama of Twilight. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41560803">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[<em>Sucks to Be Me...</em> is young adult fiction at its best and this is witty feel-good vampire fiction as well.  The main character, Mina Hamilton (Mina from Stoker's <em>Dracula</em>, get it?) is the still-human offspring of a middle-school teacher Mom and CPA Dad who also happen to be vampires.
