Welcome! This is The Review, my review on YA books that I have read. I try to Blog on every book I read after I read them and I read as fast as I can but it takes me a while to read a book if it's long. I use books to escape and I hope you can escape into books yourself because it's the best place to be for me, even though most of the books I read are quite dark. Just warning you. Leave comments!

Vampire Princess Of St. Paul: Almost To Die For by Tate Hallaway

Blurb:
On her sixteenth birthday, Anastasija Parker learns that her so-called deadbeat dad is actually a vampire king. And he wants Ana to assume her rightful position at his side, in spite of the fact that she has witch's blood running through her veins-from her mother's side.
Too bad witches and vampires are mortal enemies. And now Ana's parents are at each other's throats over her future. It's up to Ana to make a choice, but deciding your eternal destiny is a pretty big deal for a girl who just wants to get through high school.

Review:
This book was funny. This book was strange. This book had very good looking boys. It had magic. It had vampires. It had magic boys. Vampire Boys. Underground civilisations. Covens in the middle of forests. It had it all, and I loved it all.
The book starts on Anas sixteenth birthday and she is having the joy that is unidentifiable school food. She goes home to her witch mother and she has a problem. She has to preform a spell she doesn't know how to preform, infront of the whole coven. But thats not the least of her worries. Her dad, who she has never known, comes to the door and asks her to come with him. Plus she finds out that she is half vampire as well as being a witch. I found it quite funny because on top of being a teenage outcast at school, she has to choose between two lives, with her father or with her mother and they are both wanting her to choose one or the other because they hate each other.
The characters were believeable and it included a culture that I didn't know about through her friend Taylor. Ana is a quite girl who gets on with her work and keeps her head down. She knows what she has to do but she knows that she can't do it, but still she tries. Elias is a vampire gentleman guard and he is guarding her. He is quite casual and it funny because the first time they meet, he is naked, and he acts like he doesn't even mind. Nikolai is a rockstar witch boy who also is a vampire hunter who doesn't really mind that Ana is, well that is what he said. I didn't really like him as much as I liked Elias because I thought he was only after her body where as Elias was after her heart. Elias was sweet and weird. 
This book was fantastic. It was funny and has crazy vampires in it and I do like my crazy vampires. The ending is unexpected and funny. Can't wait for the second one!!!
