Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The vegan vampire Livingstone family of Manhattan is back and cuter than ever. Griffin’s lighthearted romp has 14-year-old Lexie trying to deal with an influx of charming but very poorly behaved pixies at home while running for ninth-grade class president against queen-bee Mina and trying to win the affections of soccer star Dylan. The third book in the Vampire Island series is definitely veering away from its vampiric roots, as Lexie’s concerns become ever more mortal. Serious vampire readers may lose interest, though readers looking for light romance will be pleased. Grades 5-8. --Debbie Carton --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Review

"Griffin continues to create a funny, suspenseful Goth thriller that children will sink their teeth into." --School Library Journal --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone should have a PHOLD..., April 26, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The Livingstones are back for their third adventure. Where the first and second books (Vampire Island and The Knaveheart's Curse) focused primarily on Maddy and the dangers the family faces in being hybrids, this book deals more with Lexie and the challenges she faces in trying to regain her humanity.

There's some old world house guests to deal with. A new world neighbor with a rep for being a witch - so do the Livingstones have enough vampy senses left to figure out her real story? And a high school class election that will test Lexie in ways that go way beyond high school politics.

In some ways this book is better than the previous two. In not spending too much time focusing on bad guys and letting us see the real world challenges the family is facing, it's a much funner book, yet still the kids manage to get into a bit of danger (of course). But in this story, while there IS a bad guy, the real threats are the family themselves - can they really overcome their vampire nature and live as humans?

And yes, there are unfinished story lines and so there is, of course, room for more books. And so assuming there are others, I'll be back for them. They're fun, fast reads, and the series just keeps getting better. Just don't go into them expecting the typical vampire story. As I said in my review of the last book - they're more like a kooky 70s sitcom family. So long as you know this and don't expect traditional vampires (not even by YA book standards), you'll probably find this series a lot of fun.
