Think Clueless meets Twilight and you have an idea of what to expect in Vamped. When Gina Covello finds herself turned into a vampire by Bobby, a suddenly hot chess club geek, she is touched by his thoughtfulness of providing her with the appropriate designer clothes she should have, considering she is the reigning school diva. After all, her parents had her buried her in a lacy white dress that was so hideous that the thought of people seeing her wearing it in her coffin makes her want to die all over again. However, even with his unexpected love and devotion, Gina has problems. After all, how is she supposed to maintain her appearance when - hello - she has no reflection. Also, Mellisande, the vampire vixen who turned Bobby is not only interested in him, but is also turning her classmates into vampires and trying to turn them against her. Will Gina manage to keep her boyfriend, continue as the school diva and stop a vampire war – all without a stylist? Find out when you sink your teeth into this deliciously light teen novel.
