Bloodlust (Vampire Beach)

Jason and his sister Dani have just moved from Michigan to DeVere Heights, a gated community in Malibu. They worry that they won't fit in with the "old money" rich kids, but Jason's athletic ability earns him a spot on the swim team and social acceptance. When he meets the beautiful, mysterious Sienna, Jason thinks he's found everything a boy could possibly want. The only problem is Sienna is dating Brad, Jason's teammate.
The plot for this book, the first in a series, had potential, but the author just doesn't deliver. The jokes are cheesy and the dialogue is stilted. When one of the vampires on the swim team feels weak, he makes a remarkable recovery by drinking the blood of an assistant coach: "'I got juiced up,' Van Dyke announced. 'Simkins supplied the sweet, sweet Gatorade.'" (27). The writing lacks subtlety as though the author were writing for children instead of teens. The catchy title and cover may draw in some readers, but they won't stick around for the sequel.
it is great got a great plot and alot of suspense
whoever wrote the review has no idea what they are talking about i loved
the book and have bought the second one
i thought the book would really suck but it didn't and i have read the
second one
i like teen reads, this one especially because of the little twist. its a
new view on an old myth
Bloodlust is an awesome book, and i should know because i'm very picky when
it comes to books. This book was great and i think that u shoudln't assume
what other people think of the book. That's your opinion...no one elses.
Maybe a few people agree....but FYI...all of my friends and I read the
sequels and we loved them more than ever.
