Spike's so awesome he's even a BAMF pumpkin. |
I respect that in a vampire. Action, not emo. Which is why Peeps, the first part of my Karyn-Assigned-Homework (hereafter known as KAH) is awesome.
A 19 year old loses his virginity and instead of just having a walk of shame the next morning he finds himself craving red meat, hearing things no one else can hear, smelling things no one else can smell, and accidentally infecting all of his subsequent girlfriends with Vampirism. (He feels really bad about it, though. Practice safe sex, kids. It'll keep you and the villagers you'll feed on alive.)
But instead of moping or whining or sparkling, Cal takes action. Because Cal is awesome, from Texas, and a real man. Does he cry and moan? No! He gets a cat and an apartment and a job, my friends-- a calling in life. Cal takes action, kicks ass, and takes names. (All while being adorably, sympathetically clueless.)
When you Google Image "You're gross" this pops up. Total coincidence. |
Also, you get a whole new appreciation for how gross you are. Seriously. You're gross. Go wash your hands right now, plz.
Overall, an awesome book. There's a second one in the series that I need to track down and read, but until then it stands on its own as pretty cool. Approved for consumption.
Next up, "Tithe" by Holly Black. There are fairies in this one. Sweet.
