Uninvited is by Amanda Marrone. Jordan's life is a mess. She runs with the party crowd: drinking, drug use, sexual stupidity are rampant in her life. Her ex-boyfriend, who was hardly a paragon of virtue, kills himself - or did he? The evening of his funeral he shows up at her window begging her to let him in. Jordan quickly discovers Michael is a vampire. He says he loves her and wants to be with her and her life stinks so badly his offer is looking really good. But is an eternity with Micheal the best choice? Is he really all he seems? This novel started very slow and was a hard read since Jordan is seldom sober and her alcohol/drug influenced thoughts are sometimes hard to follow. It definitely gets better as you move through it and watch Jordan struggle to get herself together. The ending is certainly hopeful. Jordan's life will resonate with far too many teen girls - unfortunately. There are lots of references to teenage drinking, drug use, and sex although they are not graphic.
Ratings: 10th grade - 8 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (mature thematic content) - S (non-graphic sexual references).
