Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2003

When you make a deal with a vampire, there's no chance to change your mind. Or is there?

Althea is a nobody who wants to be somebody. She wants to be noticed, to have friends, to be part of the popular crowd. Then she meets the vampire who lives in the circular tower in her new house.

The vampire says that he can make her popular--more popular than she ever imagined she could be. All Althea has to do is agree to a simple deal. So simple a promise, but so evil.

This was an awesome book! I read this for my book report and it blew me away! I love the ways Cooney had described the simplest of things such as the texture and the look of the vampire's skin. She showed how Althea felt throughout the entire book. It was awesome! I recommend this to all vampire-interested readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, April 25, 2004

This review is from: Deadly Offer (The Vampire's Promise 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

Not only is this book an excellent vampire mystery, it also relates some very real feelings of teenagers in protagonist Althea. All she wants is to be popular - what's so wrong with that? Then she makes a deal with a vampire who can grant her her wish, but only if she will bring him innocent victims. Will she make the right decision and go back to being unpopular? Deadly Offer is gripping and creepy. I would recommend it to anyone who is a mystery or a vampire fan.

This review is from: Deadly Offer (The Vampire's Promise 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

this book was pretty good. the reader can experience the feelings althea was going thorugh such as loneliness, the feeling to be popular, etc. She realizes that she would do anything to be popular and get on the cheerleading squad and is willing to pay the price for it by sacrificing victims for the vampire that lives in the dark tower inside the house of where she lives.only then that is she does it, the vampire will help her make those wishes come true even though she knows it it wrong and evil. this book is really good but a little bit too short i recommend it
