review 1: Reviewed by Jaglvr for TeensReadToo.comNIGHT LIFE is another guilty pleasure in the VAMPS series by Ms. Collins. The plot thickens in the second installment. Lilith Todd has learned the truth that Cally Monture seeks. Lilith knows who Cally's father is. After the two girls fought in the first book, they've managed to keep their distance at the beginning of NIGHT LIFE. Cally has become friends with the Maledetto friends as well as Melinda Mauvais, one of Lilith's ex-friends. The foursome gets along great, while Lilith is still trying to find a new BFF, since her previous one was staked not so long ago. Then, in one night, Cally's world changes. During school, she receives an invitation to the prestigious Rauhnacht Grand Ball. It's strictly for the Old Bloods. A New Blood wo... moreuldn't dare show up. She now has to find an escort for the Ball and find a killer black dress. Later that same night, she has to fight off Van Helsings that are attacking Melinda and her were-tiger friend. When she finally staggers home, she is stunned to find out her father has finally made an appearance. And Cally is shocked at who stands before her. Lilith's life is also on an exciting ride. Things with Jules are going through a rough patch. It doesn't help that she can't have him be her escort to the Ball. It's against the rules to attend with someone that you are dating. And now Lilith has become obsessed with being the next big model. But it gets tricky because vampires are to avoid mirrors and cameras. She takes the city and fashion industry by storm, but her dream may come crashing to a standstill before it ever really takes off if her father has anything to do with it. Cally and Lilith both are trying to create their own way, but it seems like their families are getting in the way. As the night of the Grand Ball draws closer, both girls will have decisions to make, and family obligations to attend to. NIGHT LIFE is a fine continuation of the VAMPS series. The plot moves quickly and the action and intrigue is just as exciting, if not more so, than the original novel. Things are heating up as the night is young at the Rauhnacht Grand Ball. Stay tuned for the next part...AFTER DARK, due out in July 2009.
review 2: Being a fan of the first book, Vamps, I obviously adored this one as well. :D Though the writing itself isn't the best, the plot makes up for it. Vampires being able to transform to an animal of their family as well as a bat. Two animals. Awesome. Nancy combines the classic version of vampires and the contemporary version of vampires. Classic version - transforming into a bat, roaming the city at night and having no reflections. Contemporary version - being able to walk around in the daylight without dying and vampire being the elite part of society. I loved Lilith and Cally because they remind me of Gossip Girl. [Don't ask me how, but they do:] Lilith, the catty, bitchy, snobby rich girl and Cally, the innocent, nice, friendly not-so-rich girl. I love the fast pace action of the story and the one person I hate is Lilith's boyfriend. He's very weird and totally confused me. I thought he was supposed to like Cally but now he reveals his true feelings of Lilith? And Peter and Cally seem like the typical forbidden couple [they seem so cute!:]...like Bella and Edward [OMG. HUGE TWILIGHT FAN:]. Anyway, go check this series out because it's a mix of Twilight/Gossip Girl. less
