It has been a while since I have read a YA novel, but I couldn’t turn down the chance to read Michael C. Greer’s Carmella Jackson: Manifest Vampire. I found Greer’s novel to be a most refreshing read. Meet Carmella Jackson, a normal beach loving teenager spending her last summer days soaking up the sun with her friends before she heads off to college. Life was good… until Carmella gets completely blindsided one fateful night and bitten in her bedroom by a mysterious attacker.
As her body begins to change, Carmella realizes that she is transforming into a vampire, and balancing her normal life with her new nocturnal state will be more of a challenge than she thought. And when a top secret organization charges her the task of taking down the beast that attacked her, she is going to need support from everyone to survive.
I really appreciated how simple Greer kept his story. There’s no blockbuster antics or over the top drama that is often found in popular vampire novels. Greer’s point of view is unique and all his own. I enjoyed following Carmella on her journey to self-discovery, learning the everyday tendencies of her family and friends, and watching her figure out where her new future will lead her. While this title could have been proofread and edited a little more, if you are a fan of YA vampire novels, I’m sure that you will enjoy Carmella Jackson: Manifest Vampire. I look forward to reading the second title in Greer’s series!
My favorite part of Manifest Vampire is the relationship between Carmella and her boyfriend. It is going to be interesting to see whether Carmella decides to turn her boyfriend into a vampire.

Very good new theory about being a vampire. This is the first in a long series. You have the young beach bunny, Camella Jackson, and the story of her life as a vampire. This is a very good book. I purchase it on kindle pc. I spend several night reading it. It totally kept my interest. I hated to close the computer and go to bed. The only thing that kept me going was that it was not just a short little book. It took the time to develop each character. Give it a try.

This book was so creative, and like no other vampire book I have read. Though the cover might be deceptive, this book is for older readers. I loved this book and must have read it in one night without any breaks. A must read for fantasy and vampire fans.
