TUESDAY PICK | Curl up with Tate Hallaway's Vampire Princess of St. Paul

February 06, 2012

"Considering that I, Anastasija Ramses Parker, am the vampire princess of St. Paul, you'd think a title like that would come with some supercute servant boys waving fans over my body and feeding me ice-cold bonbons." No such luck for Ana, who's gone through three books' worth of drama courtesy of Tate Hallaway, author of the "Vampire Princess Novels." The books read like they were written by someone who grew up on Sweet Valley High, learned the lessons of Harry Potter, and landed a contract with a publisher who's hoping for the next Twilight—in other words, they're pretty pedestrian. But the local interest alone (Hallaway lives in the Capital City) makes the books worth considering for someone looking to celebrate this unseasonally balmy weather with a quick beach read. Almost Everything, the third book in the series, hits shelves February 7.
