Diary of a Vampeen by Christin Lovell

Imagine living a human charade for fifteen years and never knowing it. Imagine being provided less than a week to learn and accept your family’s true heritage before it overtook you. Alexa Jackson, Lexi, is abruptly thrown onto this roller coaster and quickly learns that she can’t change fate, regardless of how many lifetimes she is given. She will be transformed into a vampeen on her sixteenth birthday, she will be called upon to fulfill a greater destiny within the dangerous world of vampires, and she will have to risk heartbreak and rejection if she ever wants a chance at love with Kellan, whether she likes it or not. 


Although this book may seem cliche and stupid because of its vampire roots, it is most certainly not. I read this book in one sitting, due to the fact that it was so enticing. Normally, I take breaks in between chapters because the book is boring, but that wasn't the case with Diary of a Vampeen. Alexa was such a real character, which is one of the things that made me want to read more. There are actually a couple reasons why I found this book amazing. 


1.) Kellan is a hot vampire. There's no point in denying it. I don't have an actual picture of him, but I can imagine what he looks like. And in my head, Kellan is hot. 


2.) The facts are denied. You know when you read a vampire story, and all the facts are the same as the last one you read? Yeah, I hate that. Don't you? I mean, in Twilight, he's ice cold, doesn't sleep, reads minds. Yeah, and I bet that the next vampire story you read, the love interest will have the same qualities. 


3. Lovell makes references to real life things. She has her characters go to Barnes & Noble, Starbucks, Macy's, etc. I love it. I absolutely love it. I mean, I love the creativity in creating your own stores when you write a book, but still, I think it's fun that she made those references. Also, she made a few Twilight remarks that made me giggle. 


Even though I loved this book to pieces, the only thing I despised about it was the grammar errors. Now, don't think this book is terrible now because of this accusation. Most people wouldn't even notice these errors. It's just me because I'm an editor. 


Yeah, back to the book. 


Overall, in my opinion, this is the book to read. Read it for me. Read it for the author. Read it for Kellan. *Insert winky face here ;)*


Because it's self-published (which is a fun, yet entertaining way to go), you can purchase it on Smashwords for a whopping $0.99. Yeah, it's totally worth your money. Go buy it. I will never regret the day that my friend accidentally pressed the 'buy book' button on my iBooks app. Maybe you should get your friend to do that, too. It'll make things a lot funnier.

You won't regret it, yo.
