Last semester was the exchanged St. Judas School of boy's coming to Hawthorn School. Now, it's the girls turn for Spring Break. The girls are heading to an eastern European school for boys. Downfall...the boys are Vampires! Charity is excited. Resulting from the events of the boys visit last semester, her ghost teacher Ms. Van Tessel and now vampire best friend Louise, are nervous. The first day there Louise gets invited to a party. A party Charity is excited about until she learns she can not go. A vampire party. Louise is uncomfortable at the party with the boys working to break her vow regarding human blood. Yet meeting a well read cute boy, agrees to a party the next night. Charity talks Louise into going and taking her... to see and talk to Nicholae. But, human blood drinking vampire party with a human walking in...could not end well? But learns of a scheme to turn the girls of Hawthorn School that are visiting.

Now the girls get the feel of what the boys had while visiting their all girls school last semester. All eyes, of the opposite sex, are on the girls as they are introduced and move about the school. The same feel the boys felt in The Graveyard Gymnasium. We are hoping the boys have...matured some since then. Or at least the ones left in Romania are.

Charity and her eccentric thinking. She's a tenth grader with boys hot on her mind, one boy in particular - Nicholae. She cracks me up with her creations and stories of "what's going to happen." She definitely has an overactive imagination. A brilliant imagination and in the same smarter than she knows. Charity might not have the grades, but she is a smart girl. The things she thinks up, and the angles she thinks. The girl knows things when she applies herself to something. The small quick jokes she makes to herself, made me smile.

Ivan, who's trying to *help* the girls with information, but Charity doesn't fall for it. She feels he's the evil mastermind behind an evil plan - based solely on his hair style. Louis is taken with the boy and doesn't believe Charity. When Charity goes undercover to weasel out the plan details and thwart the scheme, things get complicated with the strong vampires. Maybe Charity can find the slayer center she felt before, to save her co-students.

Oh! There was a little surprise here, or two. One was the feelings one has for Charity. And the other, well, I can't tell you that as it's a little twist you will enjoy in the investigation to stop the vampires.

The beginning builds the places and brings you to know the characters, then you go right in with the troubles of vampires. This is a cute book and one I would suggest to young teenage/preteen girls. It's a touch of Urban Fantasy and young crushes but with a strong girl that will come though.
