review 1: I would give this novel two stars but I'll admit that the author did manage to write a completely different world that didn't always make sense, but it's still a hard eat to pull off. Otherwise I found myself really not liking this novel, I tried too but some of it's quality's just were not for me.Vampire World starts with a steamy make-out between some high school kids in the middle of the woods, then there's someone messing with them. When her boyfriend goes to check it out, screams emit from the forest, then she goes out looking for him. Suddenly Janice emerges in Vampire World with no recollection of her past life. She's only being told that her parents are dead and she is now in an orphanage, where the main food is blood and it's repulses her invigorates her at the sa... moreme time. The cruel orphanage soon spits her out with a nice middle age vampire who shows her Vampire World. Where she finds a job, love, and a secret that could shake her very foundation.One of the reasons I couldn't get into this was the main character. Janice is one of those people that doesn't know she's being conceited, judgmental or even rude. I know she means well, but she constantly compares shabby things to really nice things that she's seen other people have, then says but that doesn't matter to me. Constantly, so that you know it does matter to her, and it makes you not like her.The setting of the story was one of an emo persons dreams. Or really anyone who's into artificial hair colors, piercings, and other dark side things, including glow in the dark tattoos. Something I've never really found appealing, but I know a lot of people that love that kind of thing and would find it appealing in a story, or rather an entire world where that is the fashion style, which I suppose make sense with our perception of vampires.Vampire Worlds Janice was just like how I'm assuming she was on Earth. Which surprised me I expected a little more difference in the world but the main difference was the food and their fashion sense. A little more difference would have been good for the story.
review 2: Vampire world is the story of Marisa, a normal teenage girl with good friends, and a hot boyfriend. Everything is great until she is in an accident and wakes up in a strange and terrifying place called Vampire World. She has no memories of her former life, not even her name, but for her the strangest part is that she is now a vampire! As she acclimates to the frightening new home (and new name), she has to learn how to live and fit in and she slowly learns how to get along. She has help in her adoptive father, and new friend she meets at her first job. Then in her super sweet and hot boyfriend, Bret. Things get scary when a secret person sends her messages and leads her on missions to find the truth about Vamipre world and her past.I have very mixed feelings about this book. At times it seemed like a paranormal romance/mystery, but at other times it seemed like a political thriller set in a world of vampires. I enjoyed the story. The romance parts were sweet and I found it fascinating when she was learning to navigate her new life. But the strange clues and secret society weren't really my cup of tea. I can't say I loved this book, but I do feel strangely compelled to find out how the story concludes, so I suppose the author did a well enough job of intriguing me. less
