How would you feel if you were being stalked by your ex-boyfriend who is now an undead vampire? Well Jordan gets stalked and abused by her ex-boyfriend which today is a very serious problem to most teenage girls.
Jordan the main character is unfortunately being stalked by her ex-boyfriend that’s supposed to be dead. So when he shows up at her window begging her to invite him in something’s got to be wrong. She’s pretty freaked out but there’s something inside her that wants to invite him in. But would this be safe? He’s supposed to be dead so why is he here? He sits at her window every night waiting for her to invite him in while she sleeps. This is so annoying to her that she cant sleep so she turns to drinking and smoking as her “medicine” but really its not helping. She’s afraid to go out at night because she knows he’s out there. She thinks to herself “why does he want me” a lot. Then she realizes only vampires can come into your house if there invited in. Now that she knows he’s a vampire she’s more scared then ever. He tells her how he was attacked and how the beast was so strong and he couldn’t fight it and if she lets him in he could make her one of him. One night he takes one of her friend to the beach and she finds him there trying to kill her so she gets her other friends there and they fight him until they finally kill him. Now that that’s done she’s so relived. She’s finally done being abused and stalked by him now only if it were easier like some other girls have it.
Many teen girls are either stalked by ex-boyfriends or were abused. Although Jordan wasn’t physically abused she was mentally and emotionally abused. Most girls who are abused by there boyfriends wont tell anyone because there afraid that if they tell someone there boyfriends will hurt them more. Most of them either turn to alcohol or drugs. Which wont help and also is unhealthy and harmful to their body’s. It’s best to get out of the relationship if your boyfriend is abusing you. Now stalking is a bit different. If your being stalked its best to tell your parents and maybe get the police involved. Some stalking problems are little ones so if you have one just go up to the person and ask them to stop, now if they don’t this is a good time to get the police involved. Some people will never get the police involved and sometimes it goes away and sometimes it just gets worse. The best thing to do is talk to your parents about it first.
Jordan had gone through so much in the story that many teenage girls go through everyday. This book was a very thrilling book that sucks you in to keep reading more.
Good connection between vampires and abusive boy/girlfriends. The lesson, I suppose, is that if you have to keep a relationship secret, you should question the value of it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I like that ended your review of a vampire novel with "sucks you in" -- how appropriate!
