Felicity Heaton: Vampire for Christmas

Wow, he's grabbing her boob! Is this porn?
And shouldn't be there an article in the title?









I tried to get as much as possible from my Kobobooks experience and found out that there are free books in there as well! I typed in the word "vampire" and suddenly was flooded by a plethora of free e-books. That's very cool if you ask me. So now my e-book reader is full of who-knows-what. And I'm going to read it all and tell you about it. Since it's Christmas, I grabbed this story (and just like yesterday, I read it one year in advance).
There are two demon/vampire slayers who hang around in the cemeteries with stakes in their hands. One of them is a vampire and one of them is just a bad-ass woman. Sounds familiar? I know! My pubescent obsession with Buffy is back here! Fortunately, there are some dissimilarities. No Chosen One for us this time. 
And these two have been hanging around together for two years and while the vampire is too scared to say anything about his stalkerish obsession with the woman, the woman is slowly realising he is the one. Even though he is of the species who butchered her family. Oh, the conflicts. Never forget the stakes in the back pockets of their jeans. I mean, they work for an agency which keeps demonish vermin at bay and all they have is stakes? Really? I forgot to take a look when it was published. Maybe guns and more potent stuff was out of question back then.
Anyway, these two seem to speak volumes with their eyes. I bet you all had that moment (way too often) in your lives when you looked into someone's eyes and had no frickin' idea about what the other person was thinking. Well, here you see everything. You don't need dialogue when you have eyes. If life was so simple. 
Add some cheesy eye-staring and kisses while slimy demons are attacking with slime (really, that's all you got demon?) and you are in for some flashbacks. I loved this kind of shows when I was growing up. I don't find them so amusing now but for the nostalgia it brought I'm gonna be lenient in my rating.

GENRE: The Buffy-ish Genre
FANGS OUT: oh, the sweet memories of our teenage years
FANGS RETRACTING: out of date and kinda pathetic when you think about it too much
TOTAL SCORE:
