Annie Carroll (Carol Lightwood) combines the traditional vampire story with a modern internet business. What an incredibly original concept!"It took weeks and weeks to put together all the bits and pieces for the site, and finally ‘Launch Day’ came. I was so nervous I couldn’t drink a thing. (I live on a liquid diet these days.) I almost collapsed with relief when Howtolooklikeamoviestar.com went live and real sales began on day one. Even Conrad was impressed. And my advice posts are among the most visited pages.""Yes, yes. I know it sounds odd for a vampire to be giving beauty advice on the internet, but online enterprises are really becoming the businesses of choice for working vampires these days. The reason is obvious: there is no night or day online. So while I am asleep during daylight hours, women around the world are examining their faces closely in mirrors anddeciding to change their appearances. ... Many of them, though, search online for new solutions and thousands have found Howtolooklikeamoviestar.com."Annie writes some really funny lines:"I gave him a plastic bag of blood from the blood bank as a bonus ‘Thank You’ for doing such a good job.""Auto-immune diseases are a big deal these days and new ones keep popping up all the time. I’m so glad I came up with this idea to explain why I’m now a night person.""In fact, most people think that contracting the plague is preferable to meeting a vampire—which is only true if the vampire regards you as a menu item.""How things have changed: last night Mom told me she has been bragging about my website to all her friends."Cate does seem to run into trouble everywhere. I don't want to give away too much of the story so read it - the book is a fun ride.(I downloaded a free copy of this book in return for an honest review.)
