My favorite of this series. I truly wishes they had written more. The artwork is some of my all time favorite. As well as this series being a childhood favorite. Always loved Talbot!!!

I read this in my teens. If you read Twilight and wanted it to be funnier, this is the book for you

I snagged this off the library shelf because hey vampires, hey why didn’t Scholastic books do graphic novels when I was young? This is number two in the series which I didn’t know when I picked it up, though it was clear quickly.
Lily Jordan has been turned into a teenaged vampire (presumably last book) and is being hunted by a much older vampire, Sang, and his partner, Rosie (more on them later). I am not sure how old Lily is but this would play better with the younger teens. It might be a tad light weight for the older ones (or not, I’m not the best judge). Lily’s big worry isn’t the fact that she’s a vampire or that Sang is after her or that if she doesn’t drink Serum V she’ll go on a blood rampage. No, she’s worried about her first big party, a Halloween party at Phillip Lemachard’s house where she now lives (I’m not sure if he’s dead or what. He obviously knew about the supernatural.)
Enter Lance Talbot, Phillip’s last living relatives. Talbot is a handsome young boy who wants to help Lily. We quickly learn he’s a werewolf (naturally). We meet Lily’s friends. We see Sang and Rosie doing the super villain speeches and naturally they are going to crash Lily’s party. Lily must have money because not only are her friends having a party in a mansion it’s a huge party with a live band (the Shatners and with a lead singer who looks like Tank Girl and seems to be wearing a Tank Girl shirt) and with costume prizes. Derek, Lily’s friend wanted to win more than anything and this is where it busts out the fair play morality thing (which had the most expressive art of the whole thing). Sang and Rosie show up and are taken care of far too easily to make them worthy villains. They might as well not have shown up at all. The kids were so unimpressed by the danger, they thought it was special effects.
So, the ending was too rushed and the villains too mushy but overall it’s a cute short story. The art isn’t bad except someone needs to have a good look at what wolf legs look like. And really no one realized Talbot’s ‘werewolf costume’ wasn’t a costume? I’ve never seen a costume outside of Hollywood (or even in it) that was all that convincing when it comes to huge wolf maws moving and talking….There isn’t much depth to this but it’s worth the fifteen minutes it takes to look it over.

I think this was a teenage vampire graphic novel series that ended too soon and showed some promise to it despite a rushed and not so thoroughly vetted plot. I won't say it was one of the better ones I've read, but I remember buying this from the scholastic ordering series back in middle school and my excitement in reading it. Several years later, I realize that it didn't fill me with as much excitement with respect to the story as it did just the general memory of what it could have been.
Lily is a teenager coping with her newfound abilities from turning into a vampire, but finds that her nemesis, Sang, plans to unleash a plethora of zombies on Halloween night. I almost want to say this is more middle grade than it is YA. There's not a lot needed to understand it and its a simple story. But if I were to be honest about it - I remember this most not for the story but for the interesting artwork and characters. I just wish the series had more expansion.
I'd give it a solid 2.5 stars, but the extra half star is primarily because I really liked the artwork of both books in the series.

Two stars...enough said. And what about the ending? So simple and quick; what a drag.

Lily is a vampire who is throwing what may be the school's best Halloween Party ever. But the vampire who turned her has other plans for the party. Cute story - fun artwork
