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

Devnee is tired of being ignored. Tired of feeling ordinary. All she wants is to be beautiful. If she's beautiful, everything else will fall in to place: popularity, friendship, even love.

Devnee's family has just moved into a new house--a house with a vampire in it. He can grant Devnee's wish, but there's a price. Is she willing to pay it?

This review is from: Evil Returns (The Vampire's Promise 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

I LOVE this book. It's my favorite of the trilogy. I believe every girl at some point in her life has wished she were better looking or more intelligent, and therefore can relate to this book.

All Devnee wants is to be liked at her new school, but she soon discovers that her classmates think she's plain and boring. She wishes she could be beautiful like Aryssa and interesting like Victoria. The vampire in her bedroom can grant her wishes and make her "perfect" for a price, but are shallow relationships and overexposure really what Devnee needs to make herself happy?

All Devnee wanted was to be popular, but most of all, the one thing whe wished for was, beauty. Moving to a new school is hard enough, but when you find out that your buddies, that volunteered to help you, really despise you! Upset, and wanting Devnee wanted revenge against Aryssa, her beautiful buddy, who cant wait to get rid of her. When Devnee finds out that the vampire in her tower can grant her wish for beauty, what will she do..? If she wishes for Aryssas Beauty, what will happen to Aryssa......

The story is about Devnee, a plain girl who constantly wishes to be beautiful. Her wish is finally granted by a vampire but as everything does, it has consequences.

I wish...

I wish that they never reprinted this book. It was a waste of time and money. I absolutely hated Devnee as a main character, she was selfish, self-centred and cared about no one but herself.

Devnee was probably even worse then the vampire, and so dumb witted. The plot was stupid, the dialoge good but the internal dialoge beyond redemption. The ending should have been trashed and Devnee made me want to rip out my hair. She knew what she was doing was wrong, but she was like a damn osterich.

There is really no words to describe how stupid this book is and if i were you i'd stay as far away from it as possible.

If by some mishape you do read this, you have my condolences.
