Girls That Growl (The Blood Coven) by Mari Mancusi

Girls That Growl is really cute. There are a lot of references to pop culture that keeps you in stitches.
This is the first novel I've read by Mancusi and I had no idea that this book was part of a series, which means that it stands strong on its own.
The characters are fun, real and well developed. The story line is easy to sink your teeth into, making this vampire story an amusing read.
I am excited and cant' wait to get my hands on the books previous to this one and the one in the next installment.

Grade: A

Synopsis ( B& N) Third in Mancusi's hip, sassy vampire series, featuring the heroine of Stake That! She's a vampire. She's also a vampire slayer. (It's a long story.) And now Rayne McDonald, Goth girl, has to carry out her most deviant mission yet: trying out for the cheerleading squad. Rayne already has enough on her plate: her twin keeps whining about whether or not to go all the way; her mom's boyfriend is moving in; and her man, Jareth, who's now allowed out in the sun, has turned from a dark, brooding hottie vamp into a surfer dude. But this vampire slayer is still on the clock, and she has a new assignment. A member of the football team has disappeared-and her bosses at Slayer Inc. think the cheerleaders had something to do with it. Now they want her to infiltrate the squad and get the dirt. But first, she'll need an extreme prep makeover. If only they'd let her wear fishnets under that revolting uniform.
