I read this book when I was in elementary school, yes, that's right elementary school. It is part of the Bloodlust Series and this was the only book in the series that I had not re-read because I couldn't find a copy of it! But finally I did, and even as an adult I still found it to be a creepy read. It's like reading a modern version of Frankenstein for the teenage set. The funny thing is teens today can enjoy these books if they ever get re-released since there aren't too many references to things they won't understand. R.L. Stine's books have been re-released, so who knows maybe these will be one day too.

While this book has a kind of interesting story that’s an obvious take on Frankenstein’s monster it’s just very predictable and there are not really any scares. I did like the funeral home as a setting for part of the book and the central characters are pretty likeable. The rest of the book is just average. But it’s an easy read that only took a couple hours. For books that were so hard to find I was expecting so much more.

This is the high school equivalent to Goosebumps, complete with the slight twist/elipses ending.
