It doesn't get too bogged down in vampire lore. Beth Fantaskey borrows only a few of the usual bloodsucker staples (eg. stake + heart = death) and puts her own spin on the genre. I adored Lucius. He's showy but endearing. His incredulous comments about America in correspondence with his cruel uncle Vasile were side-splitting. If you want a break from dark, dark vamp stories, give this one a go. \u003cb\u003eweloveya.wordpress.com\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Group Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43601161584703,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/8626\/8223\/files\/26842373482238.jpg?v=1785123078","url":"https:\/\/bookconnection.com.au\/products\/jessicas-guide-to-dating-on-the-dark-side-by-beth-fantaskey","provider":"The Book Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
