Rating: ☆☆☆☆ ½ (4 ½ stars)This book is about Mina Hamilton - Yes you are right about A) The name is from Dracula and B) You already knew her name. Anyway, her family is basically a pack of vampires. You already knew that too, didn't you? Her mom, dad, and uncle are vampires. But not Mina. And all of us know it's against vampire rules that a human should know about vampires. But the Vampire Council didn't know that. Until now. Now Mina is taking vampire classes, getting crazy crushes, and facing the most important decision in her life: Becoming a vampire or not becoming a vampire. If she becomes one of her family, she has to move and get a new identity - leaving her best friend behind. If not, she will never see her parents again. Ever. And her memory will be erased. At the beginning of each chapter is a vampire myth and her answer to the myth. Like "MYTH: Alcohol has no effect on vampires. TRUTH: Not true. They have to drink more of it, but they can still get sloppy drunk." or " MYTH: Vampires are evil. TRUTH: Stop believing everything you read!".
