Book details
Still Sucks to Be Me: The All-true Confessions of Mina Smith, Teen Vampire
Description
1.My parents and the stupid Vampire Council are still ruining my death (ugh, whatever).
2.Not only did they make me fake my death and funeral (I didn't even get to go!), but I had to leave behind my BFF Serena and move. Really far away.
3.Meanwhile my boyfriend George is off "reconnecting with his parents" in Brazil. Land of beaches, bikini babes, and the biggest party in the world. He's probably going, "Mina, who?"
4.Grady asked to me Homecoming and won't take no for an answer.
5.Did I mention cute but oh-so-complicated Cameron Carter, the only other bloodsucking teen in town? That's because I'm trying not to think about him, thank you very much.
6.And ugh, Raven. Is she seriously stalking Serena?
7.But the absolute worst thing is that here I am, some all-powerful (ha), all-knowing (yeah, right), in-control (totally not) vampire and my parents still get to dictate everything I do.
