"""Kelly manages to imbue Lola with the lofty air of an old vampire and the surliness of a teenager in equal measure-an unlikely combination that will surely endear her to readers. In a YA paranormal/supernatural genre that can be overcrowded, Kelly includes enough unique details-such as Lola's surprising skin care routine-to differentiate this book from the vampire-novel rabble ... An imaginative take on the teen-vampire trope with plenty of action and romance and a compelling antihero."" Our Verdict: Get It -Kirkus Review"
