Tantalize is by Cynthia Leitich Smith. Quincie Morris is an orphan. Her parents died in a car accident and left her in the custody of her uncle. They also left her the family restaurant. Her Uncle D decides it would be cool to turn the failing Italian restaurant into a vampire themed establishment. Then the chef is murdered and a new chef is hired. But there's more to Henry Johnson than meets the eye - and did I mention Quincie's boyfriend is a werewolf. Wow! This book was a totally unexpected surprise. The plot does not follow expected lines and the ending leaves you begging for a sequel. A must read fantasy for those who enjoy vampire tales.
Ratings: 9th grade - 10 out of 10 - P (profanity), S (non-graphic sexual references) - AC (mature thematic content).
