Vampire Beach: BloodLust by:Veronica Shnayder Mrs.Huff Period 6

Vampire Beach: Bloodlust

by Veronica Shnayder




I just read Vampire Beach: Bloodlust by Alex Duval. Obviously this book is about vampires and if you're into vampires and glamour this book is just right. So after I read the Twilight series I got really into vampires so I searched for books about our blood sucking friends and stumbled upon this great read. It's fun short and is a really thought out book. It's the first in a series of six. I read this around a year ago but just reread it last week. As soon as you pick this book up you won't be able to put it down until you finished the fourth book trust me.



Jason is a Michigan born 17-year-old Senior that due to his dad finding an amazing job in Malibu has to move to the other side of the US to sunny California. Jason, unlike his sister Dani, is more then excited to start fresh and not just anywhere; but DeVere Heights, Malibu! A gated community, home to the richest and oldest families in Malibu. His first day at the new high school he meets Adam a movie making, director obsessed, son of a poor but hard working police chief (as he puts it) guy. Jason also meets the beautiful Sienna Duvereox. Beautiful and popular Sienna Duvereox. Jason soon figures out that the most well known kids at DeVere High are the kids whose families all live inside the gates but that's not the only thing they all have in common. They end up being surprisingly nice and Jason finds himself in the mix with the posh rich kids that he lives with. The second party Jason was invited too was Belle Remes Yacht party; it ended up being the most remembered party in DeVere Heights not only because of the amazing booze, beautiful people, and 2-story boat but also because of the mysterious death of Carrie Smith whose body Jason stumbles on the next morning washed up on the beach. Adam later reveals his latest movie wasn't a regular documentary; he was actually collecting evidence of the vampires living behind the gates! So now Jason has to live with the intelligence that his closest friends and the girl he loves are vampires all while trying to find the vampire that killed Carrie Smith.



"I got up juiced up," Van dyke announced. "Simkins supplied the sweet, sweet Gatorade." Gatorade? Yeah right! Simkins (the swim coach came out looking completely drained and out of it. This was the first hint that there was something fishy going on with the DeVere kids. Van Dyke left the pool after he passed out swimming and went back to the locker room with the coach and Brad; he came back 2 minutes later completely glowing and wanting to jump right back in the water. It wasn't just odd it was plain creepy.




I give this book 4 devil facess out of five! It's not a full five only because it didn't change my life or change my veiws in anyways. Non-the less this is a great fun read. It's goes by quick and in the end you're begging for more! Alex Duval takes a classic story about a girl and a boy and gives it a modern twist. I used devil faces because it was the closest thing to vampires I could find. Great book go read it!!


""



This is a great book for anyone who likes a good modern love/mystery novel. The only content you have to watch out for is the use of drugs and alcohol in this book and some mild sexual content. Other then that it's a great book that everyone should read even if you're not into vampire a murder mysterious. I think everyone can find something they like in the book. So get your copy now!
