The undead can really screw up your senior year . . . Marrying a vampire definitely doesn’t fit into Jessica Packwood’s senior year “get-a-life” plan. But then a bizarre (and incredibly hot) new exchange student named Lucius Vladescu shows up, claiming that Jessica is a Romanian vampire princess by birth—and he’s her long-lost fiancé. Armed with newfound confidence and a copy of Growing Up Undead: A Teen Vampire’s Guide to Dating, Health, and Emotions, Jessica makes a dramatic transition from average American teenager to glam European vampire princess. But when a devious cheerleader sets her sights on Lucius, Jess finds herself fighting to win back her wayward prince, stop a global vampire war—and save Lucius’s soul from eternal destruction

"2 stars This book went from probably being on my faves of 2017 list to me wanting to throw my tablet across the room. The author committed character assassination to the max with her love interest on the second half of the book. He went from a charming sassy vampire who had interest in our MC( even tho some of his idiocy was kind of sexist and archaic) to an angst ridden almost murderous vampire who try to destroy himself instead of fighting back from his "true nature". Altho that was kind of contrived too since in the begging in the book they were really no hints of him being a murderous and ruthless vampire like his uncle. So close to being a book boyfriend.. The romance was kind of contrived since Jess went from not wanting nothing to deal with him to falling in love with him cause he got hurt and the chick she couldn't stand started to liked him. The author also committed the " tell don't show" crime to the fight degree. What's the point of being in someone who knew about the MC family but proceed to not tell it in the freaking book? Lack of worldbuilding to the fifth degree. That's all. I'm not reading the second book in the series.."
