9th Grade Slays

****

Heather Brewer

Vlad's problems didn't end when he "killed" D'Ablo at the end of his 8th grade year. In fact, they may be worse now than they ever have been before. Still considered an abomination by the vampire community, he is now also being hunted by a vampire slayer. Uncle Otis steps in and takes Vlad for training in Siberia. But even that may not be without danger. And what's all this about the prophecy? What does it have to do with Vlad?

This is a very good follow up to the first book in the Vladimir Tod series. Like the first, it was impossible to put this book down once I started it. The action began on page one and didn't let me go 'til the end. Vlad is a great character that you want to root for. The book is an excellent balance of teenage drama and fantasy action.

Chronicles of Vladimir Todd: 8th Grade Bites

Vlad is just a normal 8th grader. Except for the fact that he has no parents. And the fact that he can read minds. And the fact that he's being hunted by his substitute teacher. And people around him are disappearing, maybe even being murdered!

Oh yeah, and he's a vampire!

Vlad has to keep a lot of secrets about his life and the things he discovers. But the secret that is being kept from him, just might end up killing him!

This was a very quick read and pretty darn good. It wasn't as well-written or clever as I usually like, but it was impossible to put down! The twists were a little predictable, but the action and characters were worth it. Definitely put this on your list.
