Jessica’s Guide to Dating on the Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey
Jessica Packwood is a ‘mathlete’(aka really good at math!) who refuses to believe in anything that can’t be explained by logic and facts. Her parents however, are researchers who have always been supernatural fanatics. They are so obsessed with the supernatural that years ago they went to Romania to witness a ritual of a cult that they were researching. While they were there, the cult was threatened and so they were asked to bring Antanasia Dragomir (a baby of one of the cult members) back to America to keep her safe. This is the story that Jessica has heard her entire life, how she was born in Romania and adopted into a vegan family in rural Pennsylvania, but when a new student shows up in her school during senior year, the story changes drastically. Jessica’s adoption was her deepest secret, only her best friend knew it, but suddenly the creepy foreign exchange student who claims to be from a royal family arrives, and he too knows her secret. Lucius Vladescu is from a royal vampire family in Romania and was betrothed to Antanasia, the daughter of another royal vampire family, at a ritual before she was brought to America. While Lucius is trying to teach Jessica how to act more like a vampire princess and trying to win her trust and affection (with a little competition from her crush), Jessica will be teaching Lucius how to act more like an American teenager.
This book was an amazing story that had a perfect balance of a fairy tale romance, a mysterious new vampire, and a girl trying to accept the unbelievable in order to find out who she really is... and she thought that her senior year was going to be easy!
