Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side

The undead can really screw up your senior year. “The romance sizzles, the plot develops ingeniously and suspensefully, and the satire sings.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Marrying a vampire definitely doesn’t fit into Jessica Packwood’s senior year “get-a-life” plan. But then a bizarre (and incredibly hot) new exchange student named Lucius Vladescu shows up, claiming that Jessica is a Romanian vampire princess by birth—and he’s her long-lost fiancé. Armed with newfound confidence and a copy of Growing Up Undead: A Teen Vampire’s Guide to Dating, Health, and Emotions, Jessica makes a dramatic transition from average American teenager to glam European vampire princess. But when a devious cheerleader sets her sights on Lucius, Jess finds herself fighting to win back her wayward prince, stop a global vampire war—and save Lucius’s soul from eternal destruction.

“Fantaskey’s fast-paced story is full of plot twists and turns that keep readers guessing until the very end. The story is highly entertaining with plenty of action, drama, romance, as well as self-discovery.” —School Library Journal

“Fantaskey’s novel is far more than a romantic fantasy . . . Jessica is a witty, spunky protagonist with authentic insecurities and inner conflicts.” —VOYA, 5Q, 4P (highest rating)

“Combine the romantic vampires of Stephenie Meyer with Meg Cabot’s princess-in-disguise, and the result is Fantaskey’s lighthearted debut . . . Girls obsessed with vampires and romance will welcome this clever, amusing take on teen vamps in love.” —Booklist

“Romance buffs will find the ultimate pairing of Lucius and Jessica absolutely irresistible, and it’s downright swoonworthy once their elaborate courting ritual begins in earnest.” —The Bulletin
