Goodreads Summary:
With vampire boyfriend George and best friend Serena by her side, Mina thought she had her whole life—or rather afterlife—ahead of her. But then Mina’s parents drop a bomb. They’re moving. To Louisiana. And not somewhere cool like New Orleans, but some teeny, tiny town where cheerleaders and jocks rule the school. Mina has to fake her death, change her name, and leave everything behind, including George and Serena. Not even the Vampire Council’s shape-shifting classes can cheer her up. Then Serena shows up on Mina’s doorstep with some news that sends Mina reeling. Mina may look a lot better with fangs, but her afterlife isn’t any less complicated!

In this eagerly awaited sequel to the popular Sucks to Be Me, Kimberly Pauley addresses many of her fans’ most pressing questions (Will Serena become a vampire? What happened to Raven? What’s next for Mina and George?) with signature humor and breezy bloodsucking style.


Review:
I sort of forgot what happened since I read the first one almost a year and half ago. It didn't take me long though to figure out what was going on. So if you haven't read the first one, I highly suggest you do as this book will make a lot more sense. I may not remember what really happened in the first book, but I do remember that it was funny. This one is equally funny. The writing is simple and doesn't require me to use much concentration to get through it. The main character Mina is now finally a vampire but has been relocated to a tiny town. The boyfriend is somewhere in Brazil so Mina now meets another guy named Cameron. Unfortunately Cameron is part of the Carter Clan who a vampire historian believes to be the notorious Black Talon gang. It was a fun read and with the ending I'm almost wondering if there is going to be a third book. I'm a bit curious about Cameron and want to read more about him. Anyway if you want something light to read and love teenage vampire stories then you should go ahead and read this.
