This one is a short, sweet nerdy vampire tale. I did get a little tired of Jane putting herself down, just as one gets sick of a friend in real life who does that all of the time. The plot was a little screwy, and there are tones of R.L. Stine here (goofy horror). What was great was the snarky prose, there are a couple of laugh out loud lines here. I hope St. Onge writes more, as I think she might work magic with a realistic teen fiction story. Once the traps of corny vampire restrictions are removed Jane shines because she is a “real” girl. Other issues involve not fully developed characters, in fact, besides Jane, the reader has glimpse beneath the surface for any other character. In a comedy, which this is, I find that acceptable. Still, I wish we could have learned a bit more about Eli.
