I loved this book. It was a like a campy spin on Buffy, but without the "big bad" of the week.

Charlie and Reg were made vampire at too young of an age (nod to the Twilight-verse) and consequently they are immature and mistakes were made. Their immortality has been revoked and they are now relegated to the rural hellmouth of Nowhere, Iowa with an unappreciated "spirit guide" of sorts. I love the hilariously vapid attitudes and observations of Charlie, who is appalled that she no longer has a vampire sized bank account, vampire-esque perfection, and the cache of vampires. She bumbles her way through high school, offending and alienating the mortals who are unable to recognize her star power. Meanwhile, her brother finds his first relationship and quietly assimilates into the community. Charlie spends all of her waking hours plotting and scheming how to earn their way back into the immortal realm, desperate to return to her life of luxury and irresponsibility.

I loved the way Charlie grew as a character and matured into a new role, a new kind of friend, and a new appreciation for others. The ending was a great twist.

When I first started this book I thought it was a bad premise and that the book would be boring but I was completely wrong. The story pulled me in and left me wanting more at the end. My favorite kind of book.

I enjoyed this book. I was worried it was going to be another typical YA vampire book. I like the twist in the beginning and the twist at the end. The fact that the protagonist has to work for what she wants and learn from it was nice.
