Confessions of a Vampire Girlfriend Katie Macalister 9780451232595 Books
I love Katie MacAlister's books. This book (technically set of books) was well-written, funny, and very entertaining. I've already read Ben and Fran's story in later books, so I saw this as kind of a prequel. It can stand alone, but it's nice to know that the end of Ben and Fran's story (set 5 years later) is available - "IN THE COMPANY OF VAMPIRES."Unlike most of MacAlister's adult series, this book doesn't have any explicit sexual content, but there was a scene where Ben gets soapy in the shower and describes it to Fran (no actual mention of certain body parts) and the randy Vikings talk about having sex a lot, but 16-year-old Fran doesn't do anything more than kissing. There is also surprisingly little violence, although that is certainly not for lack of enthusiasm on the part of the Viking ghosts!
All in all, it's a great older teen/ young adult book, that's entertaining for adults too.

When i couldn't find the original books anymore i went hunting at my local book store but they didn't carry the new compiled copy, so when i found it on for less than $2.00 i was ecstatic, i ordered it and within a week and a half it has delivered the book is brand new and with only a light stub on the bind otherwise in perfect condition. Absolutely recommend this book an absolute joy to read and the shop DailyDeal USA i true to their word on delivery time and book quality.
It is very cute how Katie Macalister changes her usual focus of grown up women to a teenager in this Dark One novel, you can see how a teenager has to deal with being the Beloved of a Dark One at an age where girls don't really know who they are.
I found it a little frustrating at times, since I'm use to the non teenage heroines. Ben is a particularly patient Dark One, but he has to be, since Fran is still a young and inexperienced girl.
In the second story of Fran, the Viking Ghosts are hilarious, probably one of the best parts of the story are when they are around.
I had previously read the 'Young Adult' books "Got Fangs" and "Circus of the Darned", but I'm so thrilled that Katie MacAlister re-issued them in this one-book format!
The fantastic story of Fran finding out that the world of "not quite normal" is a pretty awesome place to be really warms my heart that fate and love can win in the end, even against some mighty obstacles.
Twilight. It is marketed as a young adult novel and that is understandable for the fact that she (the heroine) is only 16 in the book. However, it is so much better than the horrific Twilight novels. This girl stands up for herself not only to her love interest, her mother, a Norse God, and much more. If I were to have a teenage daughter I would want her to read this vampire novel rather than the other novels that masquerade as vampire novels.
This is my all time favorite vampire series. I love the Dark Ones with this book about Fran and Ben my favorites with in the Company of a Vampire and A Tale of Two Vampires. For Vampire fans, a must read.
I am a huge Katie MacAlister fan, and this reprint of her two Young Adult Dark Ones books are no exception.
These two books introduce us to Ben and Fran, and also to some fun Viking ghosts.
Fran lives with her mom at a traveling Goth Faire in Europe, she meets Benedikt, a Dark One and discovers that she is his Beloved. However, he's over 200 years old, and she's 16.
I admit I wondered how Ms. MacAlister would pull off writing for a younger audience, but all of her trademark humor is intact and the love scenes are teenage appropriate.
I am not sure that I am as fond of the Dark Ones as I am of some other vampire series, however the only other teen series I've read is Twilight. Comparing those two, I much prefer Katie MacAlister's take on vampires.
Fun read!
‘Confessions of a Vampire's Girlfriend’ is an omnibus edition of two very funny young adult novels published under MacAlister's pen name of Katie Maxwell Got Fangs? and Circus of the Darned.
Got Fangs?
Our heroine is Fran, a 16-year-old girl who thinks she's a freak. Yes, I know most 16-year-olds think they're freaks but Fran is definitely not your average girl. She's 6 feet tall and, in her words, built like a linebacker, her parents are divorced, her mother is a witch (for real, not the kind most teenagers think of), and then there's the fact that she has to wear gloves all the time since if she touches you with her bare hand she gets a quick visit to your head.
Since her father has just picked himself up a trophy wife he has sent Fran to stay with her mother. So Fran is now stuck in a trailer with her mother traveling around Europe as part of a ‘GothFaire’. Some very odd people are part of the fair – including magicians who can do real magic, a psychic with a dead boyfriend (really dead, like a couple of hundred years dead), and a demonologist who dresses, talks, and behaves like Elvis. Her best friend at the fair is Imogen, a 400-year-old Moravian woman who reads palms and rune stones.
Our hero is Benedikt, Imogen's younger brother. (Younger, but not that much younger.) Benedict is a ‘Dark One’, a soulless vampire Unlike many of the other vampire stories, ‘Dark Ones’ are truly cursed. Not their fault, in most cases, as their curse is the result of something an ancestor did. But there is a cure, if a Dark One finds his Beloved and bonds with her he gets his soul back.
Benedict has been searching for his Beloved for almost 300 years. He plans to love her and protect her and decide what's best for her. Then he meets Fran, and she is his Beloved, but she's not too sure about the love thing, is not impressed with the protect part and he better get over the idea of making her decisions.
So here's never-been-kissed Fran, with an instantaneous, super hot boyfriend she's not sure she's ready for, with baggage she's really doesn't want to cope with, and a white witch mother who is really unhappy with the thought of her 16-year-old daughter dating the soulless undead and the power to do something about it.
The plot is pretty light involving Fran solving the thefts at the fair, acquiring a very old horse, and being forced to read palms at the fair to earn the horse's upkeep. Of course there is the part about Ben dying, or the part where she and Imogen beat up a demon, and the part where Fran learns that a Mississippi kiss is better than an Iowa one... (Read the book for an explanation of that one. Oh, and don't worry about Ben, he's sort of immortal.)
Circus of the Darned
Fran is still at the GothFaire which has now moved to Sweden and joined with a group known as the Circus of the Darned. These folks are not average either, since they are part of a religion that still worships the Norse gods.
During this story, Fran acquires a necklace imbued with the power of Loki, raises a group of thousand-year-old Vikings who think she is a goddess and want her to get them to Valhalla. Along the way she has to take the Vikings shopping, meets the goddess Freya, who is annoyed at being called from a party in Venice, motorcycle riding Valkyries who have been staying at a resort in the Mediterranean, and Loki who wants her horse (don't ask why) and his necklace back. In the process she gets herself cursed by Loki (but she keeps her horse and the necklace), her Vikings get sent on to Valhalla, and her romance with Ben advances a little.
The sequel to these two books is called ‘In the Company of Vampires'. It is NOT a young adult story, though it is certainly Ben and Fran's story. It is also #8 in the Dark One series published under her Katie MacAlister name.
