October 20, 2009: Good Girls Do is about a ghoul who is a vampire, yet the last time I checked, being a ghoul had nothing to do with being a vampire; the two fantasy aspects being completely different from each other, but this author seems to want to merge them into the same entity, which this reader felt was very idiotic, given that any reader of the supernatural is going to balk at such a notion, especially if the reader is a fan of vampires such as I. A writer should stay to the legend of any fantasy or science fiction character/entity, and I have noticed how often writers get in trouble with their fan base when they tend to go over the edge with their creative license; and this reader believes the author has done so excessively in this case. The storyline even appears childish at parts and hard to follow what is truly going on. Personally, I felt this novel should not have been published as is, and who ever edited this novel should have their ink pen taken away.

I Also Recommend: Guilty Pleasures (Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series #1).

October 30, 2008: When we last left Beth Frasier, she had unfortunately let her guard down and was turned into a vampire. Beth was trying to become human again by having her creator destroyed, but while killing the wrong vampire she gets herself into a pickle by deciding to save her boyfriend from dying -- by changing him, too.

Now Beth is back and ready to not only turn herself but also her boyfriend, Clayton, into humans once again. That is, hopefully, before Clayton decides that he needs to kill Beth.

Of course, not everything is going well since the head cheerleader, Tamara, is still getting on Beth to decode the prophecy, which tells them how to walk during the day. Kevin, the college guy, is beginning to hit on Beth... Who can resist a college guy who is also a slayer? Little incidents begin to happen which leave Beth in situations where she is almost dead. Her parents, who can't stand each other, are beginning to talk once again. Clayton is beginning to be very secretive and just may be plotting against Beth. And so Beth just possibly may not have a date to the dance.

What totally puts a setback in Beth's plans on solving all of these problems is when she discovers two secrets that can, and will, change her life forever.

Being a teenage girl isn't so great, especially when you are a teenager and everything is against you. Yet, Beth Frasier still finds time to be funnier and wittier than ever. GOOD GHOULS DO is the perfect follow-up to Julie Kenner's previous novel, THE GOOD GHOULS' GUIDE TO GETTING EVEN.

And the HUGE cliffhanger at the end only leaves the reader wanting more... and hopefully there is more.
