I swear, my life was always totally normal.

Normal house, normal family, normal school. My looks are average, I don't have any superpowers, no one's showing up to tell me I'm a princess - you get the picture. But when my junior year started, something not normal happened. There were new kids at school . . . new kids with a wardrobe straight out of a 19th-century romance

Shelves: vampires

This was a great read. I love how easy, fun, and cute it was.

Sophie is one very entertaining narrator - she's witty, driven, curious as hell and investigative. Sophie is also competitive to a fault, and we see all these characteristics of her in the book. Funny enough, some of these characteristics drive and shape the plot. For instance, her curiosity and investigative streak leads her into discovering far more about the newcomers in her school than her getting-to-know-you article required. Sh...more

Dear Sophie McGee,

Something tells me we would have gotten along famously in high school.

Love,
Me

Snarky, dry humor, teensy-bit off-kilter ... I loved this book. Sophie McGee is a hysterical narrator, and Robinson's tight writing (and killer sense of humour) had me laughing EVERY OVER SENTENCE. I am anxiously awaiting whatever next Robinson will write. I'm making my supervisor read this book tomorrow --- I honestly can say that I will happily promote this book to both the Twilight and anti-Twilight...more

Reactions:
Many nods to the series or books appear in this novel full of humor. First of all, a tribute to Stephanie Meyers saga: a school close to a forest, a clan of vampires that can not come to school unnotice. The best part was to imagine vampire as a bunch of cosplay characters with sharp teeth. Almost as if the author was making fun of her subject nicely.
The reader can spot some scenes from "Dawson" like the one with the secret code used by James and Sophie to communicate, or the fact that...more

Have you wondered if vampires were real or not? Well Sophie, a teenage girl who lives a normal life has and would push the thought away as if it was just another made up Halloween tale. She works hard in school to achieve her spot for Editor in Chief but also competing against this other girl who also wants it. She’s ambitious, persistent, and most importantly, being surrounded by a bunch of hidden vampires disguised as high school students.
In this story, “Vampire Crush”, Sophie encounters her neighbor who was also her childhood friend. When they were little, James (the neighbor) and Sophie, would play with each other after school. But it wasn't the fun kind of playtime, it was the merciless teasing and sandwiches being stolen from her. Suddenly after years of being apart, she started developing feelings for him after several encounters and seeing him at school just makes it worse! Especially when a group of new students dressed in clothes that made them look like they were from the nineteenth century had began enrolling in their school, having the ability to control the minds of her classmates/ teachers and also, a weird blood fetish. Not soon afterward, she finds out that they are a bunch of blood-sucking vampires looking for a girl with a specific birthmark. And worse, she finds out that James is one of them too...
This book makes me think about my childhood and how I use to play with my friend, Benjamin when we were just little kids. I really liked this book and the way the author had Sophie find out how much she’s apart of the whole problem with the vampires and the special birthmark. It’s also comforting to say that James was there for her the entire time, protecting her from the danger she’s in.
Teens who love a good supernatural romance should definitely give this book a try. Even though the cover doesn't look as attractive, the story will blow your mind.

Alrighty, what did I think of Vampire Crush by A.M. Robinson?

Well, when I first cracked it open, I wasn't overly impressed. It was generic for YA and overall I have read this story many times over. But as it continued I found that while the plot is nothing new I enjoyed the humor that was written into this book.

The main character, Sophie, in my opinion was very likable. She had me laughing so much my sides were aching and I actually liked how her story played out for the most part.

It was on my shelves and I kept being drawn to it, something about the cover and the title just kept calling to me, but I was in the middle of about 6 other books, so I thought it best to finish one of them before I started another book. I couldn't do it, though. I just felt a pull to this book, so I picked it up and figured I would start it, get over the pull, then put it down until I had time to finish it. Well, that didn't happen! I couldn't put this book down! It was just a quick, FUN read! And when I say fun, I mean that the plot moved right along at a really good pace, the characters developed in a very believable way for the most part (they are teenagers, after all, so you have to leave a little leeway for teenage angst!), and the dialogue was just plain funny most of the time! I found myself actually laughing out loud at half of what came out of Sophie's mouth! ** Very slight spoiler alert ** James was a wonderful character, full of confusion and questions about how to deal with being a vampire, a decision he made when he was hurt and confused following the death of his parents, and investigating the possibility of perhaps being able to change himself back to a human, if only he, and his 6 friends, can find one special girl, who rumor has it has "special" blood that may be able to turn him back. Sophie is trying to figure out her feelings for her old nemesis growing up. And the other vamps are dealing with problems of their own: how to blend in with the teenagers at school being one of them, with often hilarious results. The end was only a very tiny bit predictable (for the most part), but since it was one of many possible outcomes, it still came as a surprise, and it was written in a very fresh, new way, so it did not disappoint at all!

I could go on, but I don't want to spoil this wonderful book for anyone. It really was a very quick read - I started it yesterday morning and I finished it yesterday evening! Yes - it was THAT good! I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that there will be a second book, and even better, a whole series, of books to come!

Quick summary: If I could give this book 6 stars, I would! I highly, highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun, lighthearted, totally addictive book to read :)(less)

But A.M. Robinson’s Vampire Crush is a fun, quirky twist on the teen vampire novel — and for fans of the genre, this will be a fast, enjoyable read.

The book follows loner-by-choice Sophie as she works to become editor-in-chief of her school paper. But her efforts are put in jeopardy by an assignment to profile a group of new students: a very secretive, mysterious group of new students who all seem to know each other and are all a bit … off. This coincides with the return of her next-door neighbor and former childhood rival James Hallowell. But James doesn’t want anyone to know he’s back, and he also seems to know more about these mysterious newcomers than he’s letting on.

What really makes Vampire Crush so successful is a great sense of self-awareness. Robinson clearly knows she’s writing a genre piece for a genre that’s ripe with plenty of offerings. The key is that this book never takes itself too seriously. And while it doesn’t parody the teen vampire genre, Robinson isn’t afraid to poke a little fun with some well-placed references to Twilight and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Robinson’s also done a lovely job with character development. As the reader, you know who Sophie is completely. There’s never any question about her actions or motives. And even if you disagree with some of her choices (she’s not perfect), you totally understand why she’s making them. They are the right decisions for her character.

Likewise, Sophie is surrounded by some charming and unique characters: her step-sister, the popular pretty girl who is actually not a bitch and genuinely wants to help all “fashion victims” find their style. James: whose childhood pranks turn into flirty teasing, with a heavy dose of angst over his parents’ death and other to-be-revealed secrets. Violet: crazy, quirky, but genuine. And Vlad. Oh, Vlad. He’s got all the earmarks of becoming a stereotype, but Robinson’s written him so well that he continues to surprise, entertain and terrify.

Oh, and you wanted some romance with your high school vampire story? Robinson delivers. It’s sweet without being overly saccharine, and complicated without that melodramatic, end-0f-the-world feeling.

And major points to Robinson for writing a teen vampire novel with a TWIST. Yes, a twist! She does a nice job of keeping you on your toes and surprising you, even in a world of vampire over-saturation. The action definitely builds to a dramatic climax, and the ending leaves the reader both satisfied and longing for more. Questions remain, though nothing too glaring … just enough to make you hope for a sequel. (less)

Which is highly impressive.

Which is highly impressive. I always feel bad when my reviews start with "these are the ways in which it's better than other books of it's genre" or "this is what it didn't do wrong" but I think it's so important to note when a book does these things right and you can't get the impact of that unless you acknowledge the myriad ways the genre normally gets it wrong. Mostly, here, I'm referring to the fact that Sophie is really, truly, undeniably awesome and real feeling. She's a pretty normal girl, but not in a blank page heroine kind of way. She may not be me, she may have her own personality (and oh how she does) and hobbies and interests, but none of them feel alienating or mary-sue-ish. In addition to which - and perhaps more importantly - her motivations for her initial curiousity and her later actions all make sense. The amount of times I've screamed at characters not to go into those woods and certainly not to run after some character they've never met/don't like/save the asshole, is literally more than I can count. (Which might be why I'm not a math person:) But every time Sophie did something that ratcheted up the tension (going into the woods, going upstairs, going into the woods again) she had perfectly valid reasons. In addition to which, the stakes kept getting raised, which perfectly brought the tension up for me without it feeling artificial or overwrought in plotting. PLUS she was totally Harriet-the-Spy esque, which made me so happy.

And then we have James. Oh let me count the proverbial ways... He's so sensible and human and not always even that likeable, but oh how like a teenage boy he is. I love the character arcs Sophie and James go on - to becoming more than just self-serving teenagers - and I think James' particularly rings entirely true. I think, to some degree, a lot of us have at least gone through a period of disaffection where we start to questions WHAT EVERYTHING IS WORTH and I'm not sure I wouldn't have made the same choice, had a strangely bedraped crazy vampire with a flower name made dramatic noises at me too. But his journey back out of that is actively interesting and something I could (and did) get invested in.

I often croak and moan about how trauma is handled in romantic plots and how LOVE is generally held to cure EVERYTHING. It drives me up the wall, because really all that happens when you achieve two relatively broken people sleeping with each other, is that eventually they become co-dependent and abusive. Instead of which! you have someone who has been through significant trauma dragging himself back to the proverbial land of the living. (Sidenote: Oh the ways in which you use vampiredom as a lovely metaphor. They make the part of me that took classes on the form! of writing! elegantly! very happy. It has LAYERS.) And yes, Sophie helps - unintentionally - but his journey is his own and that makes him entirely believable, likeable and maybe even good enough for Sophie.

...Also did I mention how much I like A.M.'s cast of sideshow freaks? I mean, ancillary characters? A.M. did a really great job of having them each have quirks, without having them become two dimensional and defined by their quirks. This is excellent and makes me want more stories about them. I suspect I personally have a fondness for Marisabl, not only because she successfully leaves an abusive relationship, but because I was totally a wanna-be goth in highschool. And she is awesome and hangs out in the bathroom with the rebel kids. And then wanders off across America for ADVENTURS! ....Why are we not friends? SHE SHOULD COME HANG OUT IN MY FLAT. SHE CAN SLEEP ON MY COUCH. IT'LL BE AWSUM.

Oh Vlad. I am still not sure I have words for him. Other than A TRUE EXPRESSION OF MY UNDYING LOVE. He is so awkward and broody and awesome. Wtf little black diary. Why is he so emo? Why is he not mine? I would giggle at him all day long. The end.

Though the vampires in the book were very unoriginal and the book was very predictable, I still enjoyed reading the novel. Vampire Crush is a nice book to read if you aren't looking for anything too deep or love vampire novels.

Sophie is a paper cutter heroine that you will find in most YA novels nowadays. She doesn't care much for her looks, people think that she is average, she dresses frumpy, and is a loner. Of course, this is the point when the gorgeous hero, James, comes into the story and sweeps her off her feet, though she refuses to admit that she is falling for him. The rest of the story involves her "fight" with the villain, Vlad, and her search for why Vlad and his posee came to her school.

While I did find Sophie mildly annoying, James made up for her faults. While his character is very generic in that I have seen him in many books before, I can't help but fall for the gorgeous hero. I can see why Sophie falls for him, though I still can't quite understand why she tries to allude him. He is so obviously in love with Sophie and a great guy for putting up with her. I wish the real world was like YA romance books in that there are tons of gorgeous, amazing, cute, and sweet guys out there waiting to sweep all of us girls off of our feet.

I liked a majority of the supporting characters, especially Violet. She lives in the 21st century yet she still acts like she is from many generations ago. She is too funny in the way she talks and how she interacts with boys. I laughed at her addiction to gossip magazines. The other supporting characters weren't as fleshed out, though there wasn't much that needed to be said about them. The villain in Vampire Crush is especially cheesy and very annoying. A bug that I really wanted to squash throughout the entire book because he was just so creepy and disgusting.

While there were a few flaws with the book, I still enjoyed reading it. A good book to read when you've picked through most of the YA section like me. It isn't horrible, it just wasn't the best book that I have ever read. If you are into vampires, you would probably enjoy this.(less)

Sophie McGee is in the running to be the chief editor on the school newspaper staff, but when her first assignment is to interview half of the new students, she fears her chances of winning are slim.

Despite her journalism's teachers discouragement, Sophie can't help but look into the strange occurrences that she feels when she's around the new students. Although they are widely accepted by the rest of the school, loner Sophie just isn't buying it.

Not to mention an old neighbor, James moves back in next door in secrecy. Being too young before he moved, James and Sophie seem to pick up where they left off and even begin growing closer. But when Sophie learns James knows the new kids she begins suspecting he's hiding something. Adding on is his warnings to stay away from them.

It's while trying to save editor in chief candidate, Lindsey, that she finally admits that they are vampires. Not a big shocker for her since she put that together already, but what is a shocker is when James rushes to the rescue with his own pair of fangs. Promising to wipe their memories, James gets them out of Vlad's destructive hands.

Now it seems, Sophie doesn't know who to trust or what to do about these feelings she still feels for James. All she knows is that she has to stop Vlad from finding the mystery girl who will improve his social status.

Debating whether to help her or not, James and fellow vampire friends soon discontinue loyalty to Vlad and team up with James and Sophie to stop him. But when it is discovered that she is the mystery girl, Vlad attention is on her.

Not good at playing it cool, Vlad takes her sister as hostage to make her agree to be turned and marry him. When James finds her she's lost a severe amount of blood and he must turn her.

Waking up, she believes she has been turned into a vampire, but soon discovers her heart is still beating. The legend of who she is apparently healed her from becoming a vampire...or full vampire.

Over the course of the week, Sophie learns to deal with her new abilities. Luckily, her romance with James is looking up. (less)
