About this ebook

The Van Helsing family has been hunting vampires for over one hundred years, but sixteen-year-old Daphne wishes her parents would take up an occupation that doesn’t involve decapitating vamps for cash. All Daphne wants is to settle down in one place, attend an actual school, and finally find a BFF to go to the mall with. Instead, Daphne has resigned herself to a life of fast food, cheap motels and buying garlic in bulk.
But when the Van Helsings are called to a coastal town in Maine, Daphne’s world is turned upside down. Not only do the Van Helsings find themselves hunting a terrifying new kind of vampire (one without fangs but with a taste for kindergarten cuisine), Daphne meets her first potential BF! The hitch? Her new crush is none other than Tyler Harker, AKA, the son of the rival slayer family.
What's a teen vampire slayer to do?

Ratings and reviews

this is a great book, i finished it in about five hours after i got it from the library. it is a book about a girl named Daphne who is 17, her mum who's past is a mystery and her dad who is mostly calm and wears glasses. they have a dirty job, they slay vamps. (sorry all you vamp lovers but there's gotta be someone to point it out to ya, vamps are blood sucking fantasy creatures and will always be like that.) she goes to a new town and finds the vamps are stronger than they should be. she slays a vamp in front of a girl(because she would have been on the menu otherwise)who is about the same age as herself and finds she has to train her to become a vamp slayer. Daphne finds herself falling in love with a guy who happens to be her worst enemy and finds herself with her new apprentice in a limo with her 'crush' in the car too. the problem is i can't say all, but it is a great book to read for 13 years and up. (in my opinion.)

Fun Read
