Apprenticeship with a Vampire

Apprenticeship With A Vampire by J. Bennett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this one. The fact that Nathaniel lets the ghosts do whatever they want with these poor people leads to hilarious situations. I like the ghosts. I like the fact that they are not stereotypical. They have their own special flare that goes along with this series perfectly.

This story really has a lot going on. It makes me wonder what kind of people would answer the ad that Diedre posted. Some of the best parts of this story happen in a small moment outside of the house.

This is really just a fast-paced story that keeps you entertained the whole time.

When Vampires and Ninjas Collide

When Vampires and Ninjas Collide by J. Bennett
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

While this was a fun little story, I have to admit, I didn't like this one as much as the others in the series. I think it was because a lot of the action happened between random characters that were not in any of the other stories or Diedre with the Ninjas. There wasn't as much Nathaniel interaction as I would have liked. The Nathaniel parts were great, but I just wanted more of them.

Death in the Family

Death in the Family: A Funny Vampire Short Story inThe Vampire's Housekeeper Chronicles Series by J. Bennett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love a good J. Bennett book. This series is great, along with her Girl with Broken Wings series.

If you're like me, you will start reading The Vampire's Housekeeper Chronicles and not be able to stop.

This short story features Tiffany, a female vampire who also happens to be Nathaniel's sister. The names were very well chosen for this story. Both Nathaniel and Tiffany act like you would expect. No offense to anyone with those names, it's just that Nathaniel is an older name, one set in tradition, and Tiffany is one that is newer and featured in movies as the mean girl or popular girl.

The story line might have been more predictable if the cast of characters didn't also include ghosts, a zombie, a wereferret, and Deidre. I have to say, Deidre is a great model of perseverance. She may look at her poster every night and feel like she is failing, but I would have given up long ago. She just keeps plucking along.

This series is a hilarious read for anyone that is looking for a vampire read that goes against every normal convention.
