I read this book a few years ago. I enjoyed it then and am looking for it now. The story is quite interesting, if a bit juvenile. It was afterall intended for a younger audience.

Mercedes is sent to a professional riding academy. She's doesn't really know anyone there at first, but does make a friend. The local town has a club of sorts that is the teen hangout. There she meets Conner Egan. He seem a bit Lestat-esque, at first. However, he has dark intentions. And Mercedes is placed in great danger, for her life.

The story was quite captivating with a few sub-plots here and there. Overall, this was very well written. I never read any of the other Nightmare Club books, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Mercedes Amberson, a student at the Cooper Riding Academy for Girls in Cooper Hollow, New York, is one of the richest girls at the school. She's also very lonely, a product of her parents "unemotional availability", according to her therapist. One night while at The Night Owl Club, she meets the lead singer of a new band playing there and they hit it off; but there's something wrong with Conner Egan. He's older then he looks, around 200 years older, and he's looking for someone to take his place as a vampire. The woman he loved 200 years ago did the same to him to free herself and live out her mortal life, and being trapped as a vampire has not made him happy.

It's an okay book, I read it in a day, Cameron's writing is lacking, and I've noticed that tends to happen in several of her books.

this book was great to read but some of the parts were too slow. it begins when mercedes amberson goes into a club called the Night Owl and falls for the lead singer of a popular band but has no idea that he is a 200 year old vampire looking for a woman's love so he can be free and live as a mortal again having the woman to become the vampire. only then that mercedes friend Andrea must save her from Conner egan before its too late. excellent read but some parts too slow

Yeah, as far as young adult horror books go, this is one of the best. I really liked Dokey's writing style in this one, because I was able to identify with the characters and their feelings/thoughts. The best thing about this book is the characters. I really liked the emphasis "Eternally Yours" placed on friendship and faithfulness. Those aspects tie the book together. Overall the book is very suspenseful and well written. It's a quick read, and there's excitement throughout, not just at the end. The action at the end is VERY well written - emotional and horrifying at times (as well it should, since this is a horror novel :). If you're looking for a quick, seemingly simple young adult book, read this one, though I would argue this book is much more than that. I felt compelled to write a review for it, for heaven's sake.
