Jane Jones: Worst. Vampire. Ever.


Jane Jones: Worst. Vampire. Ever. is Caissie St. Onge's first novel, and a YA one at that!

Jane Jones is a vampire - but she totally sucks at it. (Pun not intended.) First of all, she's not gorgeous and magnetic. She's not filthy rich and living in a magnificent mansion. She doesn't have a hot boyfriend. And she sure as hell can't drink blood.

That's right. Jane Jones is a glasses-wearing, average-looking, middle-class, blood-intolerant nerdy vampire. Awesome, right? Sooooo not. She got turned before she could fully, ahem, "grow" and she has no friends - she can't fit in with humans, and she can't fit in with the other high school vampires.

And she's set to continue this delightful life for, oh yeah, FOREVER.

But then all of a sudden the truly smoldering, extremely attractive vampire Timothy seems to be noticing her AND her American History paper partner Eli, who's geeky but sweet, seems to have a hard time talking to her - as though he's nervous - and Jane can hardly believe it! Two boys interested in HER, a pathetic, sickly (for lack of blood), never-been-kissed vampire dork?

Yet before she gets a chance to really revel in this happy turn of events, her History teacher starts to act alarming... and Jane wonders if she can ever just have a trouble-free life?

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!! Jane Jones: Worst. Vampire. Ever. is an absolutely hilarious, awesome, superlative, original take on vampirism! Who ever heard of a geek vampire? Well, we've got her in Jane Jones! The world's first relatable vampire!

Jane is fun and likable - plus super sympathetic. She's allergic to blood, for goodness sake! She's stuck going to high school over and over and never getting a chance to go to college, for fear of attracting too much attention. Plus, despite her advanced age, she still have an overprotective Mom that insists on going over a safety checklist before leaving the house and remains concerned about walking around after dark - even though Jane's immortality kinda trumps some thug at a street corner.

I was entertained from start to finish! You've got possible romance, laugh-out-loud characterizations, fantastic dialogue and first-person narration, an amazing, supportive, so-not-threatening vampire family, and an entirely unique YA novel! Then, you get some surprisingly shocking (and even sad) twists nearer the end that I wasn't expecting - which brought Jane Jones: Worst. Vampire. Ever. to a whole new level of awesomeness! You start to get suspense that ups the ante even more and makes the plot deeper! Wowza!!!

If you were to read Jane Jones: Worst. Vampire. Ever. with the likes of Bad Taste in Boys by Carrie Harris and Sucks to be Me (and it's sequel Still Sucks to be Me) by Kimberley Pauley, you would be absolutely delighted and happy for days on end!

Oh, how I want a sequel to Jane Jones! This is a super fun, fast-paced, endearing, and hysterical YA novel that should be read again and again! Check it out you hungry bibliophiles!!!

First Step: Admit You Have a Problem

Hi fellow Bibliophiles! I have been rather neglectful to this blog... instead continuing to stay buried in a book as I have during the holidays. I'm hopeful that most of you have been doing this too and can easily accept my apology. Have I been reading? Um, yeah! (Translation: duh.) Just haven't been able to pull myself away long enough to actually WRITE about what I'm reading. Lol. But that's me, a bibliophile, an addict, an addict who's fallen off the wagon and fully embraced her love of reading - especially with all this free time to do so!!! I've also been watching awesome holiday movies, eating yummy, but bad-for-me, food and hanging out with the people I love best! You too? I hope! ;) Anyway, I will return with a new book review next week, most likely on Monday or Tuesday. Thanks for your patience and keep reading!!!

Author Q & A - Jan Eldredge Stops By!

Next Wednesday y'all will be getting my oh-so-humble opinion of Evangeline of the Bayou , the Summer 2018 Kids' Indie Next List selection! (That means it was picked via booksellers at independent bookstores countrywide.) Until then, I have a Q&A with the Louisiana born and raised author herself: Jan Eldredge! (Don't forget to come back next week for my review!!) A Conversation with JAN ELDRIDGE Author of Evangeline of the Bayou 1) The glossary in the back of the book is so helpful! Where did you learn about all these creatures? Which creature from the book is your favorite? I have a small, but growing, collection of books about mythical creatures around the world. If I couldn’t find what I was looking for there, I researched library books, online websites, and the occasional documentary. Something that really surprised me as I started learning more about mythical monsters was the number of different cultures that share very similar
