Fangtabulous (Vamped)
The fourth and final title in the Vamped series loses a little steam despite its promising location in Salem, Massachusetts, where fashionista vampire Gina and her friends encounter murderous ghosts. Perhaps thats due to the decidedly unsexy Puritan costumes the characters must wear as historical reenactment workers, or the ghost-hunting reality show that gets in the way of their mission. In addition, theres less of the lighthearted, spunky Gina, whose humor drove the earlier titles. Still, the promising conundrum of how to keep eternal love fresh and exciting for teen vampires will pull readers. Grades 8-12. --Debbie Carton
