Reviews

[littlemiao · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read the first three books in the series when I was little and was happy to discover that there are more sequels. Book four seems to be setting the stage for book five, and I recently discovered that there is a sixth book to complete the series. Meg's vampire-fighting adventures are fun, uncomplicated, and wholly unlike the teen vampire novels of today. The book is written for a younger audience - I believe that RL 5.9 means that is is appropriate for someone almost in 6th grade.
