Teen Retro: Vampire's Love

Welcome to to my first semi-regular feature on TEEN-sy Little Book Blog.  In Teen Retro, I'll post the covers of some old teen titles and talk about them a bit.  My first subject is the series Vampire's Love by Janice Harrell.  I'm actually pretty surprised that this hasn't been rereleased with all of the repackaging of older material going on.  This two-volume series was originally put out by Scholastic in 1995 and featured, well, a romance between a human and a vampire.  The vampires in this story are much more traditional than the sparkly vampires of nowadays, with vampires turning into mist and whatnot, but still, I see plenty of appeal in this rather action-filled paranormal romance for today's readers.  And I know that Christopher Pike's The Last Vampire was recently republished as Thirst, and features a female vampire, but it would nice to see more ladies taking charge in these paranormal romances as the tortured "monsters."


Synopsis, from the publisher:

"A Tortured Soul...

Rina is beautiful, mysterious, and alone.  She was sixteen when her mortal life was stolen - two hundred years ago.  Now she walks the earth cursed.  Undead.  But that was before James...

A Human Heart...

James knows there is something very strange about Rina.  He has never met anyone so mysterious - or so deadly.  But James has a girlfriend who'd do almost anything to keep Rina away from him.  What Chelsea doesn't know is that Rina is a vampire: Her love for James is almost as powerful as her need for blood.  And Rina always gets what she needs..."

  1. Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity, I can help you solve any problem you are having
