Vamps Nancy A Collins Books

I did enjoy this book: I'm a big fan of vampire fiction and I enjoyed its light fluffiness, as well as its humor. I simply wish there could have been more depth: both to the characters and to the plot. The vampire hunters did not get enough stage time and the romance between Cally and Peter was unbelievably fast. I understand that one needs to conserve words in a young adult novel, but it could have gone on longer.
It was amusing to watch the vampires, with their incredible shallow selfishness, waste their long, long lives on shopping and bitchy power plays, but it was hard to emphathize with any of the characters: almost all of them were just too vain and nasty. For example, when Lilith's best friend is killed, what she worries about most is whether her father will cut her credit cards.
Still, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Lilith. She does show genuine emotion over her friend's death, and she seems very insecure: she constantly has to look at herself in her secret mirror just to make sure she is still there. She's awful, and I'd hate to have to deal with her in real life, but from the distance of the page I can see that she's a lonely, neglected child who has never been taught how to have a real relationship with anyone. She seems secretly very miserable and longing to escape, but she doesn't know how. I look forward to seeing how she developes as the series continues.

Vamps Nancy A Collins Books Reviews

Rate 3.5
I had this is my book shelf since last year. Thank goodness I finally came around reading it. I know. I know the cover looks like more of a glamor shop and therefore the contents is probably all whack.There I go again with judging the cover. Vamps is nothing like that sure there's still high end New York fashion and high maintenance princess type characters, shallow big egos and selfish.

Lilith, Jules, Carmen, Sergei, Tanith, Melinda, and Oliver are among those vampire family they call Old Blood. They are considered the ruling class of their society. The most powerful and wealthiest of all of them. As usual they are young, rich and fabulous. Lilith is you typical Mean Girl leader. Behind her bravado is an insecure teenage girl, so she look down on most of her peers and bully them into fearing her. After a situation at their usual party spot, the Belfry, Lilith and company was temporary ban until the problem get sorted out. Bored and looking for adventure they decided to go slumming at the nearby Greenwich Village to snack on some drug dealers or prostitute. But they weren't the only ones who have the same idea, a New Blood, (meaning a vampire that is a member of a family that was stripped of bloodrights during battle) or they assumed she was a New Blood from her fashion stand point. Her name is Cally a spirited and talented halfling. She is what they called the Stormgatherer with vampire blood. Their cat fight was interrupted when the Van Helsings showed up killing almost killing them. The casualty lost one One Blood teenager, Lilith best friend and from then on a rivalry between Cally and Lilith was born.

I told my friend. hey this book has our favorite vampire hunter. And she's like..."Buffy?", I wanted to smack her I do but I cannot blame her, I don't remember the last book I read featuring them. We dearly love Buffy we do, but we agreed that the best vampire hunter written in fiction are the Van Helsings. So I am glad that they exist in this book If I haven't read a lot of vampire books, I would have put this book down. There was a scene where Lilith was in tears about daddy cutting up his credit card than her best friend dying. Ridiculous right? But I am used to their snotty behavior now and this kind of behavior is not too shocking anymore. There's a cliche attraction between Cally and Peter Van Helsing but I am intrigued nonetheless. I'd love to share more of the plot but that will be giving away the whole story, so I'll shut up now. Conclusion I like where the story is going and I am definitely interested on finding out what's going to happen next.
this was a good story line and a fast read .. love these kind of stories keep them coming please
