“You would think that tenth grade would be a better year for the half-human, half-vampire Vladimir, no? He survived a stake to the heart, is now officially dating Meredith, and he's learning so much from his Uncle Otis. But this is Vladimir Tod we are talking about, and he is facing a lot of questions. (Will he always be looking over his shoulder, wondering if someone is following him?) In a story that combines teenage high school troubles, family conflicts, and vampire lore, Vladimir remains one of my favorite literary vampires.”
