Book Description

Age Level: 8 and up | Grade Level: 3 and up | Series: Vampire Island Stories
Being a vegan vampire with no social graces hasn't exactly made Maddy popular with other eleven-yearolds. But the day she befriends Dakota Underhill changes everything, even if Dakota only promises to be her friend for . . . well, for that day. Because when the leader of the Knavehearts - the most vicious of the Old World vampires - comes to town, Maddy realizes she's going to need help. She's not strong enough to face the villain alone, and there's something special about Dakota that might make her the perfect person to team up with. . . .

4.0 out of 5 stars They're back, but are they cursed?, April 24, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Knaveheart's Curse: A Vampire Island Book (Kindle Edition)
It didn't hit me until after I wrote my review of the first book, Vampire Island, but the Livingstones are totally a 70s sitcom family like The Munsters or the Adaams Family. Yes, I know they're supposed to be fruit-bat vegetarian hybrid humans, but going into this series that's really what you need to know. They're like those kooky families, but while dealing with the tough enough issues of trying to fit in they also have to deal with real dangers connected to the nature of being who they are.

In this book that danger happens to be a "curse" that could hit a bit too close to home. Along the way Maddy is up to her old tricks, well new ones really as there are no vampire neighbors left to stalk this time around. Lexie, she's managed to end up even more tragic than usual. Hudson, well he's here, but well he's just Hudson. Pete finally gets to show off his true self. And much like the first book it feels as though the major dramatic showdown scene is rushed through, still it sort of works as these crazy creatures would probably do things rather quickly even if it makes the book's big scene feel a little anticlimactic. That said, I liked it enough that I'm onto the next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun read!, February 15, 2009
This review is from: The Knaveheart's Curse: A Vampire Island Story (Hardcover)
My daughter and I read this story together about Maddy and her family. It was a light and entertaining look at friendship with a vegetarian vampire twist. A fun read. Even our teenager enjoyed a quick read.
