I had mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, its great for pre-teens. The only fault I found with this book was the ending.... (or lack thereof) Case in point, the story just bluntly stopped in the middle of the last chapter. There was no resolution. I guess this is meant for the reader to draw their own conclusion.

Meet Lexi, Madison and Hudson. 3 siblings aged 9-13 who live in an apartment building in New York. The children are hundreds of years old and currently living as fruit bat/vampire hybrids. Maddie is spying on the neighbors determined to find out if they are pureblood vampires... Lexi is having problems fitting in at school, and Hudson learns from a fellow hybrid that its his job to be a protector. Since each chapter was read by one of the 3 characters, it felt more like getting 3 stories in one book. Maddies' story was more of a mystery, Lexi's was more about teen drama/romance, and Hudson... Well Hudsons story went unresolved. (((Shruggs))) Of the 3 stories, I enjoyed Maddie's story the best. However all 3 purposely intertwined together.

Like I said before, the book is cute, mindless easy fun. Read in one sitting. I wouldnt mind reading the next 2 in the series.
