This was the first book I read in my long teen horror story phase, soon followed by the Vampire Diaries. I remember reading this book at least 3 times, then lending it to all my friends and having discussions about it. I remember being thrilled by the romantic subplots and getting numerous chills from the scary ones, especially during the end of the book. It isn't exactly literature, but it is very well-written and holds your attention from start to finish. I loved how Richie keeps you guessing from beginning to end if there really is a vampire stalking the community, and if so, who it is. Now that I think about it, I'm going to dig my copy out one of these days and reread it. I loved all of Richie's books, especially Trick or Treat, and the V.C Andrews-influenced Blood Roots.

You have to read this book! This girl named Darcy gets taken to her Uncle Jake's place for the summer because her mom ditched her so she could get married. Well, Darcy gets freaked out because everywhere she goes she sees Elliot. It's like he's stalking her. To make matters worse, Liz hates her because Liz's boyfriend likes Darcy. She thinks her Uncle is a murderer because all the evidence points to him. There is a murderer called "The Vampire" on the loose and she in going to be next...or is she? It's your turn...read this thriller and find out who the "Vampire" really is...is it her uncle Jake who fits the part just perfect? Is it Liz who dispises her and even threatened to kill her? Is it Elliot who seems to be stalking her? Is it Brandon (Liz's boyfriend) who seams to like her, or is he buttering her up to be his "bride"? Or maybe it's Kyle (Liz's brother) who seams to like Darcy too, is he really who she thinks he is? It could be any one of these five, strange people. Maybe it's all her imagination - she could have dreamed this all up. Maybe they are all in on it. Read this and be surprised. All of Richie's books (that I have read) have surprise endings. It's a really good must read.

Richie Tankersly Cusick is an absolutely amazing young adult writer. She will put you on the edge of your seat the entire time you are reading one of her books. Vampire has to be one of the best books. I read the whole thing in one night. You just wont want to put it down because you just have to fing out what's going to happen next. This book has everything you would ever want in a suspence thriller. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves suspence thrillers no matter what the age.

This definitely is the best book I have read by Richie Tankersley Cusick. I've read and re-read this book so many times I know a lot of lines by heart. This is the book that earned Richie Tankersley Cusick the privilege of becoming one of my favorite authors. If you haven't read it, it's certainly worth your time. Vampire is very suspenseful and well-written. The characters seem very realistic. Despite Darcy's sort-of uncle Jake looking like the killer, I found myself wanting Darcy and Jake to hook up. That bad guy persona was just so enticing. You'll never suspect the true identity of the killer; I sure didn't!

This is the BEST vampire book I have EVER read! It was so good I cold't put it down! I read the whole book in less than a day! I would recomend this book to anyone who likes mysteries, thirllers or books on vampires!!!

I loved this book!!! It was so well written. I would have never expected the individual who was the antagonist. Jake (Darcy's "uncle") sure went through a full rage of emotions throughout the book, trying hard to express what he was really feeling. And anyone who hasn't yet read it, keep in mind that he isn't who he appears to be. And it was strange in the way the victims died and yet intriguing also. A really great book that I just couldn't put down!!!! Go on and read it!!!!

This book was great, you couldn't tell what was gonna happen next. One minute you thought i was this one guy and the you would change to another person and when you found out at the end you couldn't believe who it was. This book was exciting all the way to the end. I couldn't put this book down!!

This book is unpredictable, with a suprise ending that will knock your socks off! Cusick does a superb job at keeping you on the edge of your seat all through the book. I couldn't put it down! She keeps you thinking it's one guy, then the other guy, then another guy, then ANOTHER guy. All in all a great book.

...i couldent put it down i read it 2 times in 1 week i couldent believe how she did i would love to meet her! the way skyler acted (my favorite charector) and the way he touched her it gave me goosebumps what other adult thirillers does she have? i couldent believe it!!!!!!! i want all her books!!!! it is so amazing!! it is unexplanable! i love richie tankersley cusick!! she changed my reading life...

Darcy is dumped by her mom, and left at her Uncle Jake's house. His home is inside a horror museum -- The Dungeon of Horrors, which he owns. As soon as she arrives, strange things start to occur. Girls start turning up in dark alleys with their throat slashed, and two lipstick marks on their necks -- implying a vampire bite. Darcy's thrown into the midst of the terror when she believes that she's being stalked and receives a threatening note under her pillow. To add to the situation, she starts suspecting that someone she knows is the killer! Will she survive long enough to find out?.....

"Vampire" was a very good book, and up to par with a great author -- Richie Tankersley Cusick. This was my second book by her, and it was great! Keeping that in mind, it did have a few flaws. It was a bit hard to get into, and didn't get straight to the point. Aside from that, it wasn't too fast-paced. The ending (being the most important part of a book -- especially in mysteries) was satisfying, but not completely shocking -- like most other books. Still, it was unique how the author made you change your mind three times about who the killer was before they were revealed.
