My Overall Thoughts on Jessica's Guide to Dating on The Dark Side

My overall thoughts on Jessica's Guide to Dating on The Dark Side is that it was a brilliantly written novel. It, like the Vampire Diaries, is about everyday teen problems, but it's also about a little bit more than that. It's about culture shock, arranged marriage, and domestic abuse. In these ways the book has connections to the world, but they're are the connections I made to my world. Young love, crushes, competition, and of course fighting with your parents. These are the things that pulled me into the black and white pages, these are the things that made my fingers turn the crisp pages, and these are the things that made this book incredible. Also, the visualization was amazing! It was like I was reading a script to a movie while watching it, but in some way it was better than that. I could imagine the characters the way I wanted for them to look like, the sound of their voices, and everything in between. The scene I imagined the clearest is the chilling scene where Jessica watches as Jake stoops over Lucius, stake in hand, preparing to do the worst. I hear as Jessica screams for him not to do it, to be reasonable.She sees him plunge the wooden tip into Lucius's heart. And then suddenly, Lucius is gone vanished in a pile of ash.
It is said to say that there is to be another book, a sequel, to Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side. What I think is going to happen is the war between Jessica and Lucius's clans will hit full throttle, but Jessica and Lucius will have a secret love affair, which will lead for Lucius biting Jessica turning her into the vampire princess she is destined to become.
I can't wait for it to come out and when it does, you'll be the first to know.
