Juli Alexander is quickly becoming one of my favorite YA authors. I thoroughly enjoyed her novel STIRRING UP TROUBLE, and this holiday-themed novella is just as original and fun to read. The reader immediately sympathizes with Natalie, who was turned by a nine-year-old while babysitting and must hide her vampire status from her family. Now Natalie must depend on the nine-year-old's older bother Matt to keep her alive. Her problems are compounded by the fact that she has a major crush on Matt and feels she must hide her feelings from him. With Valentine's Day approaching, she worries that the holiday is going to be worse than ever. I highly recommend this novella.
