About the Author
Heather Brewer was not your typical teen growing up. She wore black, danced under full moons, and devoured every book in sight. She hasn't changed much. Today, Heather can be found writing in her funky, black Happy Bunny jammie pants, dancing under a full moon, devouring every book in sight, and attending renaissance faire in full costume (and in character).
When Heather's not writing, dressing up, dancing and reading, she's answering email, which she loves to get over at her website.

I thought this one was much better than the first. I think because there's more to the story and plenty of background information provided. Although a little predictable, (especially when it came to who was the vampire slayer in the neighborhood) it was a fun read and interesting to go through.
What I found especially interesting is the slight cracks you see that will eventually come to the surface and quite possibly create problems for Vlad. For example; his friendship with Henry. It's good, but you notice Henry's changed a bit. He's hanging out with the popular kids more and Vlad is just on the sidelines being the observer. I'm not entirely sure if I like this change in Henry. He's such a great guy and provided the comic relief in the series. If he turns out to be a jerk I'd be sorely disappointed. Let's not forget the other vampires that are hounding Vlad down, and the vampire slayer that's out for him. It looks like Vlad is about to have a lot on his plate soon enough. This is what I liked about the story so far. There's underlying problems which are bound to explode sooner or later and this is what makes me want to continue reading the series until its' conclusion.
I had to admit I went all mushy with Vlad and Meredith. They do make a cute couple despite Meredith being a 'Barbie' (ie; always described with the color pink) which I think is the total exact opposite of what Vlad would like. Then again, I suppose it's interesting that they both like each other despite their high school 'labels'.
I'm definitely looking forward to the next one in this series. The ending got me curious as to what's in store for Vlad.

In the second instalment Vlad travels to Siberia with his uncle Otis to learn the "vampire ways". Vlad still deals with bullies, crushes and the evil D'Ablo. Henrys cousin moves to town which is great for Vlad as he now has a second friend! Yay Vlad! But little does Vlad know Josh has a secret...
Ninth Grade Slays gets the series rolling on becoming one of Cassay's favourite series! There is never a dull moment. Vlad's is pushed to the limits and deals with everything Auntie Heather throws at him in the best possible way. Filled with action and comic relief from good ole Henry.

If Vlad thought eighth grade sucked, he's in for a real treat as a freshman. Vlad is still hiding his vampire side from everyone except Henry and Nelly, he is still picked on by the bullies, and he is still stuck on Meredith.
Although there is a little silver lining -- Vladimir finally has an opportunity and the guidance to learn more about his vampire nature. Otis and Vlad take a trip to Siberia, where Vlad is able to increase his knowledge of his abilities, and is also taught by a very old vampire, Vikas. It's a shame he can't use his abilities to improve his grades! He also learns the myth of the Pravus. Could Vladimir possibly be the vampire from the prophecy?
But Vlad has much more to worry about than his prophetic existence. He is being hunted. It seems like a vampire slayer is in town, but he's not the only one out for Vlad's blood! Vlad may have thought that eight grade bites, but ninth grade slays!
Okay, wow! I must say this book was even better than the first! The plot is more intense and I didn't see the big twist coming until it was right before my eyes! I also loved the Pravus myth; could our beloved Vlad be the one?! If you are a fan of the first book you will not be disappointed with the second installment to the series. Ms. Brewer continues to impress me. I'm looking forward to her next book!
