Disappointed to say the least..., August 13, 2007
This review is from: Fendi, Ferragamo, and Fangs (Kate Connor, Demon Hunter) (Paperback)
If you are looking for teen over-indulgence without apologies and shallow characters then this book is for you. The book is made up of three separate stories of three separate wanna be teen models that for no apparent reason are thrusted into the limelight of New York's hip and wild life. This book was surprisingly trite, bland, and plots which were a joke. I am an avid Julie Kenner fan and love everything of hers I have read....until now. Maybe I am too old for this book to enjoy it, who knows, but I love other books of this genera so I doubt this is the case.

Sparkling and Delightful, July 5, 2007
This review is from: Fendi, Ferragamo, and Fangs (Kate Connor, Demon Hunter) (Paperback)
I admit, when I began reading FFF, I didn't have high hopes. I've never been one for anthologies. They're often too short in all the wrong places. I was pleasantly surprised with FFF. Kenner's story came first. I enjoyed the uniqueness of the characters and was drawn into their world. Edwards came next. Hers, I admit, was not the best of the bunch, but was entertaining nonetheless. The ending lacked, but I enjoyed the remainder of the story thoroughly. Robar's was definitely the shining star of the bunch. I loved the characters and the obvious tie in to her previous three vampire teen books (which I also enjoyed immensely). It was witty, well-written, and I was able to relate to the characters quickly and easily.
I would definitely recommend this book. It was an enjoyable, quick read.

Vamp Modeling Inc. just held its annual model search, looking for the perfect girls to live up to the company's already high reputation. Thousands had tried out in various cities but only some of them had made it, and among them are three girls that stand out the most. All three know very little about the fashion industry, but they do know that they are about to enter into a world, or two, that is going to change their lives forever.
Olivia couldn't believe that she was actually chosen to be one of Vamps' models; all she did was send in a picture of herself. And now she is on her way to the Big Apple, as are the other girls who were chosen. All of it was so overwhelming, with all the paparazzi and photo shoots. And it became even more surreal when Olivia found herself in the tabloids. It's a good thing that her boyfriend, Damien, supports her, even if he is still living in Texas.
Veronika is the one model chosen that definitely stands out, just because she was the only plus-size one. Veronika had never been ashamed of the way she looked and was so glad that she could become a model just the way she was. Beating out all of those mean girls who thought she could never make it, back in Ohio, was just icing on the cake.
Sydney is far from being a bad girl, but she sure is labeled as one. Maybe it's her blue hair and nose ring that gives Sydney the bad girl vibe, but it was never like this. Sydney used to be the girl next door type, but when her father decided to leave the family behind for his girlfriend, the good girl gig was off. But Sydney only did this to get back at her father; unfortunately, he wasn't as fazed as she wanted him to be. Going to New York was the perfect opportunity to possibly have her father notice her again, and maybe get him to come back.
All three girls came to New York for the exciting experience. But the one thing they didn't know was that this experience had an ulterior motive. Who would have thought that Vamp Modeling Inc. really wanted to preserve the girls' looks forever by changing them into vampires? The name of the company itself seemed like an (un)dead giveaway. Being able to party all night long and never get tired did sweeten the deal a little, but for Olivia, Veronika, and Sydney, it may just get a little old.
Julie Kenner, Johanna Edwards, and Serena Robar are no strangers to the supernatural world, and the stories that they each provide in this very funny novel are both memorable and worth the read. Who knew that being a vampire model could be so much work? Fans of the authors' previous works and the vampire genre as a whole will not be disappointed with FENDI, FERRAGAMO, & FANGS.
