Sick of vampires? So is Meena Harper.
But her boss is making her write about them anyway, even though Meena doesn’t believe in them.
Not that Meena isn’t familiar with the supernatural. See, Meena Harper knows how you’re going to die (not that you’re going to believe her; no one ever does).
But not even Meena’s precognition can prepare her for what happens when she meets—then makes the mistake of falling in love with—Lucien Antonescu, a modern-day prince with a bit of a dark side . . . a dark side a lot of people, like an ancient society of vampire-hunters, would prefer to see him dead for.
The problem is, he already is dead. Maybe that’s why he’s the first guy Meena’s ever met that she could see herself having a future with. See, while Meena’s always been able to see everyone else’s future, she’s never been able look into her own.
And while Lucien seems like everything Meena has ever dreamed of in a boyfriend, he might turn out to be more like a nightmare.
Now might be a good time for Meena to start learning to predict her own future . . .
If she even has one.
Summary from Goodreads.com
Leave it to Meg Cabot to take something as dark, brooding and oh-so-serious as vampires and turn it into something fun, funny and frivolous! Just when you think you can’t take another vampire book, she throws something a little different into the mix. (Although for the record, I am still riding the vampire wave and loving it.)
This is just such a different vampire story than anything I’ve read. There is so many references to popular ‘vampire culture,’ even my girl Sookie gets a shout out. Cabot is poking fun at the ‘vampire phenomenon’ and yet she draws you into this vampire story! Sneaky, sneaky!
If you’ve read an liked any of Meg’s other adult novels you will definitely be a fan of this one. It was a little slow to start, but soon after you won’t be able to turn the pages fast enough. There is a light romance among the comical aspects…. signature Meg Cabot. I’d even go as far to say that this novel would appeal to older teens that are fans of Cabot’s other books.
The characters where a lot of fun as well. And it was great to get to see the story from their eyes, through the alternating chapters. I don’t think I could even pick a favorite! Even the secondary characters like Meena’s crazy neighbor left a lasting impression.
It’s summer time, if you’re looking for something easy to read and entertaining, this would be the perfect beach read. I’m eagerly awaiting the sequel!

I had so much fun with this book! In a sense, I got the feeling that even Meg Cabot was laughing at herself for succumbing to the vampire craze. Very smart, funny and original.
