  Boys That Bite
Review created: 06/05/09

I think it is an exceptionally good woven tale about a teenage vampire romance. It has an ending that you don't expect. I can't wait to read the sequel.

  Bite Me or Bite Me Not......
Review created: 05/05/09

As an adult, I crave all things vampire and the title of this book caught my eye. This read is definitely for teens, having found myself, multiple times: clueless, due to all the acronyms and slang terms such as; Tmi, OMG, WTF,and so on that kept distracting me from the characters. The sisters' sassy-ness is what saved the book for me. The vampires and the hunter are cheesy knock-offs, boy/girl next door people, who I never really get a feel for. If you're anything like me, you'll probably still want to read it, but don't spend your hard-earned cash. Check it out at the library.

I bought this book because after reading twilight I wanted to see that the rest of those vamp teen dramas were like, and sence Anna rice is a little to much.Mari Mancusi was perfect, the book is more funny then anythign and a lot of awww's I also like she puts a lot of real life events into the book its very current and fun to read, I read it in about a day, and an exsited to see what the other two books have to offer. so over all good book, fun and easy if you have sometime to spare this is book for young adults.

Sunshine "Sunny" McDonald was doing pretty well; the hottest guy at Oakridge High School, Jake Wilder, has asked her to go to the prom with him, and life is now complete. At five foot four, with dirty blond hair and unimpressive muddy brown eyes, Sunny would have sworn that Jake didn't even know she existed. Freckles notwithstanding, she's not as easily recognizable as her twin sister, Rayne, who's so into the Goth scene, vampires, and wearing all black that it's not even funny. Yes, life is looking up--until Sunny lets herself get guilt tripped into attending Club Fang, a cheesy Goth club filled with wannabe vampires, and suddenly her life isn't so sunny anymore.

The night starts out okay--yes, the club is the epitome of cheesy and the smoke machine is making her cough--but improves vastly when an Orlando Bloom (Pirates of the Caribbean Orlando, not Lord of the Rings Orlando)introduces himself with a "Good evening..I'm Magnus..I believe you were expecting me" line. Sunny sure wasn't expecting him, and she definitely was not expecting the bite on the neck she gets from the totally hot Magnus.

Suddenly life is taking a dark turn, when Sunny finds out that Magnus is not only a vampire--for real!--but that he mistook her for her twin sister, Rayne. Now Sunny's going to turn into one of the undead--this close to prom!--unless she find the Holy Grail. Which is the one and only thing that can reverse the process of turning into a vampire. But even with thoughts of Jake Wilder on the brain, Sunny's not so sure that being a vampire would be so horrible, or that being in league with Magnus would be the end of her life.

BOYS THAT BITE is a funny, action-packed read that will keep you turning pages long into the night. The characters--from Sunny, Rayne, Magnus, and everyone in between--are all well-rounded people, and the dialogue is smart and funny. As the three race to save Sunny from an eternal life as a member of the undead, she'll have to find out what's most important in life. And the ending, including a stunner regarding Rayne, definitely sets up the scene for a sequel. A great read!
