Fang Girl by Helen Keeble

I have to say, I'm actually a fan of vampire books.  Not ones like Twilight and New Moon, but ones that fall more along the lines of a relatable teenage girl having a pair of fangs.
Fang Girl is exactly that.   It tells the story of Xanthe Jane Greene rising from her grave.  Her family freaks out- of course- but they're pretty cool with her drinking blood.  Crazy scientist mom thinks of everything that could possibly happen, including turning a fish into a bloodsucker, which turns out to be fairly hilarious.  Steampunk obsessed younger brother Zack is convinced that she's really a zombie, and he won't change his mind.  This book has it all- cute vampire hunters, tweens that spend too much time online, evil shape shifters, crazy vampire bloodlines, cats, several plot twists, and even IKEA.  I have to say that I laughed out loud way too many times whilst reading this book- good book, but bad read on a crowded train unless you want random strangers thinking that you're insane.
So yeah, read this book.  The cover may look weird, but trust me, it's good.
