DANCING WITH A VAMPIRE: A YA Paranormal Romance

by Carolyn Chambers Clark, Carolyn Chambers Clark

Seventeen-year-old Delilah Jones must win a national dance contest, even though she doesn’t know a steamy tango from a sensual rumba. She's never competed with outrageous couples desperate to win a competition and willing to do anything to survive, or dealt with the weekly pressure of knowing she could be eliminated at any moment. She’s never had to dance in front of anyone, let alone before a live television audience of millions in scandalously skimpy costumes or live in a Gothic castle where she's sure her dance partner is a vampire. Dancing against his gorgeous body day after day leaves her no option but to want more of him.


Three thousand-year-old Hendrik Court hates being trapped in a teenage body until he meets Delilah. Now, he must conceal his attraction for her and keep his not-quite-developed fangs off her. When he suggests they become voyeurs and peek at the liaisons of their dance teachers, both of them become aroused. This old soul has had many lovers in his many lives, but Delilah offers a fresh and unknown experience for him. When an old flame of Hendrik's uses all her tricks to drive them apart, he reaches across all the centuries of knowledge to choose whether blood lust or love will win.

This was just like watching a dancing tv series but with romance. Fun characters make up this adorable story. LOVED IT!

If you took Dancing with the Stars, combined it with Twilight, and mixed in a little bit of Hairspray, you'd have the ingredients for this book! However, that meant it often felt predictable and cliche. There were lots of spelling and editing errors (and I'm not even counting the times when they tried to use them to portray an accent, such as the Russian dance instructor), and the use of quotation marks was all over the place! The storyline was really only so-so, and the characters were a little too flat and cliched to really draw me in emotionally. With some editing, I could bump this up to a 3.5.

I'm not sure how to describe this book. The beginning story line was great. I really got into the book with the author's descriptions of events. But once the competition started it kind of went downhill from there. I do have to admit that there were several parts that I just skimmed through since it was pretty much the same lines over and over. There were quite a few grammatical and spelling errors but it didn't really detract from reading too badly. Overall it was an okay story. Just could use less of the "fluff" during the competition.
