The Vampire Stalker begins as every book lover's dream come true. Your favourite literary crush is actually real? Wow.
I liked Amy. She was your average nice, bookish teenage girl. She had good friends and loved books but did a lot of stuff other than read. She did everything for the ones she cared about. Amy still would stand up for what she believed in though. I thought Allison did a great job with portraying her as a real teenager.
Alexander, the vampire stalker, was hot. I loved reading about how he our Chicago was different from his own. His passion was believable and I overall really liked him. He was brutal at times and a little too perfect for Amy but still a character I liked.
The plot was always interesting. I think this would be a great movie because something was always happening. Near the end things really picked up and I was so excited to see what would happen. I did expect the ending but reading The Vampire Stalker was still amusing. It was readable.
Overall this is a fun read that would appeal to anyone who's ever had a crush on a character from a book. 3.5 stars,
*** & 1/2 *
