Pre-Twilight young adult vampire book with vampire attacking the chubby jackass of the story

[Starr]

Back in the mid 1990s, when I was just getting into all the young adult vampire fiction there was to devour, I read either one or two books in a series I could never find again. Of course, I've completely forgotten the title and author now that I'm in my thirties. However, I can say that there was a female vampire involved who I believe was supposed to be a villain or anti hero. I distinctly remember one specific scene that involved the vampire attacking the chubby jackass of the story na movie theater parking lot. He turns into a vampire afterwards. I also remember reading the preview for the next book in which he is an even bigger jerk off as a vampire, but that's it. Can anyone help me?

Moving to Unsolved since you're looking for a specific book.

Could you it maybe be the vampire series by Christopher Pike? It's with a female main vamp



He has this series too but think its later -

Those are actually the same series, the second is an omnibus version.

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

Ah okay

[Starr]

I read The Last Vampire series. As I recall the whole thing ended up being a story written by one of the characters involved who was dying of AIDS. Not the same series but thank you for trying

Starr is still looking for this:

"I am looking for a pre-Twilight YA vampire novel. I believe the antagoists name is Nina. She is the vampire in the story. Now many years later, the only scenes I recall are one from the actual book and oe from the second follow up story I never found. Both involved the vampire - who is definitely wicked and no Edward Cullen - stalking someone in a parking lot. When she is thwarted she attacks the other quasi-antagonist in the story - an overweight jerk nerd with glasses. The previews scene involve finding out he became a vampire and he was EXTRA not-nice in such a state. I know the vampiress was after a particular guy, had her at least partly in his thrall, and wanted his g/f out of the way. A real horror love triangle in lieu of Dracula. I'm pretty dang sure this IS NOT the name of the author. Nina is DEFINITELY the name of a character in a book - if I am right. If I'm thinking of the right name at all! But I know I'm in the right ballpark. Nina, Mina, Rita... but I'm almost positive it was Nina."

Starr, are you still looking for this or did you find it?

[Starr]

Still looking.

Can we eliminate The Reformed Vampire Support Group (2009) by Catherine Jinks which appears to be too recent?

(Google seaach - site:www.goodreads.com "young adult" "vampire" "nina")

[Starr]

No. Definitely not.

Starting to realize a huge mistake was made in.my original search but can't figure out why. Because I NEVER - NEVER - typed the name Nina.

I typed RITA. So what's with the drastic autocorrect change that I just caught two years later????
