BlurbLenah Beaudonte is, in many ways, your average teen: the new girl at Wickham Boarding School, she struggles to fit in enough to survive and stand out enough to catch the eye of the golden-boy lacrosse captain. But Lenah also just happens to be a recovering five-hundred-year-old vampire queen. After centuries of terrorizing Europe, Lenah is able to realize the dream all vampires have -- to be human again. After performing a dangerous ritual to restore her humanity, Lenah entered a century-long hibernation, leaving behind the wicked coven she ruled over and the eternal love who has helped grant her deep-seated wish.
Until, that is, Lenah draws her first natural breath in centuries at Wickham and rediscovers a human life that bears little resemblance to the one she had known. As if suddenly becoming a teenager weren’t stressful enough, each passing hour brings Lenah closer to the moment when her abandoned coven will open the crypt where she should be sleeping and find her gone. As her borrowed days slip by, Lenah resolves to live her newfound life as fully as she can. But, to do so, she must answer ominous questions: Can an ex-vampire survive in an alien time and place? What can Lenah do to protect her new friends from the bloodthirsty menace about to descend upon them? And how is she ever going to pass her biology midterm
Review
This was an interesting book, its about a Vampire called Lenah Beaudonte and her life story about how she became a vampire and then lived it to the point of insanity and then wanted nothing more than to become human to be able to live her life that she felt cheated of at 16 when she was turned.Rhode, her maker and first vampire love sets plans in motion to help Lenah because he loves her so much that he would do anything for her. Rhode makes the ultimate sacrifice for Lenah.
It was fun so see our world with all its technology through the eyes of someone new. Lenah learns what its like to be human again, to make a friend - Tony, be teased and disliked (the 3 piece) and to really and truely love (Justin). But her world comes crashing down when her old coven headed by Vicken go on the hunt for her.
I rather enjoyed it, but the constant flash backs had me confused every now and then. Rebecca Maizel really put alot of thought and creativity to make her characters more than just two dimensional, she gave them history and depth.
