Good gah that was awesome!!This book left me guessing up until the very end. Sure, there were a couple things that I figured out but ZOMG I was expecting this and that and this and oh THAT and THIS!! Jeepers!!!Vampire Wake kinda had a Scooby Doo vibe to it but I guess most mystery books do. I kept expecting the Mystery Machine to pull up or for them to pull a mask off someone's head but never the less this book was most awesome!Kiera is back in Hobbit Land with her Mini that got pulled out of the snow in a tiny apartment or flat or whatever you want to call it and she's become super obsessed with clipping newspaper articles about things that sound vampy.I know!! I totally gasped!! People still read newspapers? Crikey!! Who knew?!!So, as Keira is kinda going through a hoarding period of her life... cuz let's face it... once you start collecting papers you might as well consider yourself a hoarder. A&E taught me that ;) Then she gets a knock on the door or... no wait.... Ummm... maybe it was a phonecall.. No... perhaps they met at a coffeshop... AHHH!! The details aren't important.... ANyways, this rich Welsh Chick comes and sees Keira and since she is Queen of the Hobbits (cuz all Welsh people are. Blessed Be Michael Sheen and his most awesome ways) she told Keira that she totes needed her to watch her youngin' over at her castly pad because she needed to go to NYC for a taping of SNL (or so I assume)Keira isn't too sure but she's all like "Yeah, sure, Whatev'" and takes a ride in a limo with the Hobbit Queen and her driver her totally ignores her and doesn't even open the door. HOW RUDE!! (did you see that? I totally went Full House on this review)Lady Hunt (Aka Hobbit Queen) jumps out of the car while they are on the interstate or toll road or umm... motorway or whatever the call em and says "Yeah dude! I'm gonna go jet to NYC and see my Dawgs... You have fun baby sitting my kid! And make sure that no one like spies in her bedroom! That's been happening and you know... that's kinda to catch a predatory so ummm... yeah!! Call Chris Hanson if you see any of that going on. Have fun!! Chow chow!"Keira pulls up to a castle with a moat that probably doesn't have alligators or killer sharks with laser beams on their heads because it's too cold there. Seriously, why do places like that have moats when it's too cold to support the proper wildlife? I'll never understand that about Europe ;) And she's greeted by this Henny Penny woman (or that's how I envisioned her) named Mrs. Payne who goes all scary movie on her and is like "Stay out of the forbidden wing!". Hmmms... maybe it was more like Count Chocula... yeah, it was probably like that.So, Keira smells something foul (which I assume was Scooby Snacks) and totally wants to go check out that wing but doesn't do it because she decides to go to sleep and wakes up to find Kayla the teenage hormones of the story going through her totebag and playing with her Fruit Pod.Keira makes friends with Kayla and throughout the story of Non-mani-pedis the adventure starts.I swear Man,.... you think you'll have all the answers and then WHAMO!!!!! The story twists and turns and flops upside down and well... that's what's awesome about this.... You think you'll pull off one mask and scream "DON KNOTTS!" but then you're screaming "SHERIFF TAYLOR" and then you scream "AHHH!!! WHo is it!!"A very entertaining read!! I can't wait for the next one!
