Book Description

Series: A Blood Coven Vampire Novel | Publication Date: October 2, 2007

Rayne McDonald thought getting into the Blood Coven was the hard part. But now there's a new breed of trouble in town...and the former slayer and her vampire boyfriend may be the only ones who can stop it. Now that she's an official vampire and full-fledged member of The Blood Coven, Rayne assumes her vampire slaying days are over. Sure, she doesn't have any vampire powers, thanks to a mutated blood virus, but she and Jareth can go out in the sun, which is a pretty good trade-off. But just when Rayne's starting to enjoy her afterlife, she's contacted by Slayer Inc once again. It seems that a member of her high school's football team has disappeared--and the powers-that-be think the cheerleaders had something to do with it. Now Rayne has to infiltrate the squad before the cheerleaders have a chance to sink their teeth into someone else...

In Book #3 Girls That Growl , we discover that Sunny is now back being a mortal and has a Vampire Coven master Magnus as her boyfriend and Rayne finally got her wish in a sense and is a Vampire and has a hot Vampire boyfriend Jareth -however it's not as simple as it seems as we will learn with the twins. Rayne was poisoned with a virus which means she's a vampire without the powers though it does have perks like waking in the sun. She is also a Vampire Slayer and works for a company titles Slayer Inc killing off Vampires and other nasty supernaturals which is where Girls that Growl come in as it seems that the whole cheerleading squad has been turned into Werewolves and if someone doesn't do anything about it, the whole football team may start disappearing one by one. Can Rayne and Jareth solve the case which will include some international flight travel and one horrible Batman Shirt.
Find out and read how awkwardly Rayne saves the day and what she will have to do to save the school's Pep Squad - the last thing on her mind ever in Girls that Growl.

Once again I loved this book. I kind of felt bad for Rayne in this book because Jareth seemed more worried about himslef than her. I understand that he was having fun being able to out in the sun again but he needed to help Rayne with the whole being a vampire thing. Anyway I think Rayne grew up a lot in this book. I think she learned a lot about herself. I like how Mari can bring different supernatural creatures into the same story and it fit in perfectly. I hope we get to see a lot more of the werewolves in the rest of the books.
