SWEET BLOOD

            Okay, this is my first post, which is really exiting! well at least it has made my day, which has so far consisted of doing laundry and homework. The book i am going to review is the book Sweet blood. This book is not about vampires in case you were wondering. I think every one is pretty sick of those. It is about a depressed goth girl named Lucy, who is diabetic.
            In the beginning, she has things basically under control. Then she meets the new kid named Luke or Guy as she likes to call him. He introduces her to a whole underground of Goth society. Her grades drop and her life balances on the edge of control and chaos. The only thing that keeps her life from collapsing is her approach on and attitude towards it. Which is basically, suck the world. Guy introduces her to people like her. And she gets drawn into his life of parties and mostly-normal people. She doesn't pay attention to her grades or her insulin and eventually her glucose skyrockets above four-hundred. Her parents start to worry and they take her computer away. Which is a huge loss to her. when she writes a disturbing report on vampires they send her to a shrink, which she in no-way likes. At the end of the book she goes to a party and meets Wain, who is much older and farms butterflies. He is kind of a pervert and he makes a move on her. She decides to leave and goes to find Guy. He is drunk and bales on her so she decides to walk home. She gets caught in snow/hail, which she calls Snail, and has a huge insulin attack. When she wakes up she is in a hospital, has Glucose levels above eight hundred, and has severe frost-bight on her toes, she decides to get her life back on track. She ditches Guy for her best friend Mark and re-dyes her hair back to its original color blond.
           In the book she has a theory. Her theory is that diabetics were the original vampires hundreds of years ago. When there disease went untreated they showed very vampiric like features, a sweet smell (from all the glucose in there blood), madness, ravenous hunger, extreme sensitivity to sunlight, bleeding, receding gums (making the teeth appear longer), cold, clammy skin, and a death like coma, only wake-up  again, seemingly from the dead. Sounds pretty vampiric to me.

           I loved this book. The thing I liked the most was her attitude and how you almost feel like you are her while you read the book. I would highly recommend it if you like attitudes and vampires...
