  <default_description>The undead can really screw up your senior year . . . &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Marrying a vampire definitely doesn't fit into Jessica Packwood's senior year &quot;get-a-life&quot; plan. But then a bizarre (and incredibly hot) new exchange student named Lucius Vladescu shows up, claiming that Jessica is a Romanian vampire princess by birth&#8212;and he's her long-lost fianc&#233;. Armed with newfound confidence and a copy of Growing Up Undead: A Teen Vampire's Guide to Dating, Health, and Emotions, Jessica makes a dramatic transition from average American teenager to glam European vampire princess. &lt;BR&gt;    But when a devious cheerleader sets her sights on Lucius, Jess finds herself fighting to win back her wayward prince, stop a global vampire war&#8212;and save Lucius's soul from eternal destruction</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I waited forever to get a hold of this book and so when I finally got it in my hands I thought, this had better be a good read seeing as how I've had to wait so long for it, and luckily I really loved Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side.<br/>From the first page I was hooked into the novel.

    <body><![CDATA[Jessica Packwood thought her life was about as normal as it could get. She’s a member of 4-H, a bit of a math geek, and has her eye on her neighbor, Jake. A typical normal life. That was, until Lucius Vladescu shows up on her doorstep after stalking her all day at school. It gets worse once her pa...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72368211">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[OK, I really liked this. The idea of a vampire coming to America to claim his bride (who is actually a Romanian vampire princess who has been raised as a vegan in America by her anthropologist parents!) just seemed cool to me. I liked the conflict between her and Lucius. I thought it was believable....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69570994">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was written for teenagers, and since I am 24 reading this book, I found myself frequently rolling my eyes at the... for lack of a better term, <em>childishness</em> of the characters. I also felt a great distance from that age group because I had forgotten how dirty they can be in high school! I la...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68806363">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'll start out with the criticism, since there are only two things I would improve--The title is misleading. It sounds like a funny book and it is anything but. A few of Lucius's letters to his uncle have things in them that do not quite match how terribly abusive the uncle is.<br/><br/>Now for th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68542854">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[7th&amp;up. Let me start out by saying that I'm sure this book will be popular with the teen set, so after much deliberation, I gave it three stars instead of the two I was leaning towards.  The plot includes a girl who finds out she's really a princess, a handsome suitor with a dark secret, as well as ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67978987">more...</a>]]></body>
