Book Review Jessica’s Guide to Dating on the Dark Side By Beth Fantaskey Jessica is an average teenage girl, whose family is a major diet-concerned group, avoiding specific dairy products and meat. She believes that she is an ordinary girl… until she meets Lucius, a foreign exchange student. At first, he appears to be the cute guy every girl is swooning about, but Jessica’s view on him is completely different. She knows that there is something weird going on. It turns out, she was right. Jessica learns that she has been descended from an old group of Romanian vampires and that her parents aren’t even her actual parents! To top things off, she is betrothed to Lucius, the vampire who is living in her house… and trying to win her love! Jessica is your typical average character, but she shows traces of spunk and determination after her encounter with Lucius. She is also quite stubborn, not believing Lucius countless times throughout the book. Lucius is portrayed as this male student who is always there to protect Jessica, as is his duty. No matter what insults or reluctance Jessica dishes at him, he always rebounds with almost no scratches and plenty of sarcastic retorts. I greatly enjoyed this book! The sarcastic and funny remarks trading off from each character is quite hilarious to read and I really liked the unforgotten tension between the two main characters. Twilight would be a semi-similar book that readers may enjoy reading. I believe that females of ages 12 and above would enjoy reading this book. Also, people who love to read about vampires should definitely try this!
