Mari Mancusi - Teen Books With A Bite

He was supposed to bite me and then we’d spend eternal life together as vampires, which FYI is a pretty sweet gig. I mean we’re talking riches beyond belief, amazing powers, and best of all NO HIGH SCHOOL. w00t!

Problem is that’s not exactly how it all went down. Instead of biting me, Magnus the Mentally Challenged bit my twin sister Sunny instead. We’re like, identical, you know, but still! You’d think he would at least have double checked that he had the right girl before going to the point of no return. After all, we’re talking Real Life Extinguishing Event here, not some Parent Trap movie starring Lindsay Puke Lohan.

And let me tell you, Sunny, who had no idea up until now that the whole vamp world even existed, was so not pleased to be informed that due to a “bloody” bad case of mistaken identity she would now spend eternity as a pasty, blood gulping creature of the night. (Her words, not mine!) And Magnus the Moron was freaked out beyond belief that he was going to get in trouble with the boss Lucifent for performing an unauthorized bite. (After all, she wasn’t even blood tested first for diseases. Not that my innocent little twin sis would ever have diseases!) Luckily for Maggy, Lucifent got dusted soon after by Bertha the Vampire Slayer. So Mag not only got off scot free, he became the new Master of the Blood Coven and high priest of the eastern vampire conglomerate of the United States of America.”. Life is strange.

So long story (somewhat) short, the two of them decided to see if they could stop the transformation. Ended up having to go to England to get a drop of pure blood from the Holy Grail. It’s too long and boring to tell, but I made Sunny promise to write it all down so maybe when she does I can post it here or something. Bottom line, they were able to stop the vamp process and my sweet little sis is now a member of the human race again. Of course, in the process, her and Magnus fell deeply in love and they’re all doing the inter-species dating thing now.

Which leaves me back at square one. No hot blood mate to spend eternity with. No riches beyond belief. Just an American History paper that I didn’t write because I’d assumed I’d be an immortal dropout before the due date. Can we say Rayne’s life sucks big time?
