The Good Ghouls' Guide to Getting Even

Book Description

The bestselling author of Carpe Demon takes a bite out of high school in this bloodsucking blast.

Elizabeth Frasier's ticked off. Her junior year of high school was going just fine. But thanks to a bunch of jerkwad vampire jocks, she ended up undead, and with a thirst that a thousand Diet Cokes couldn't quench. Now she's out for blood-and revenge. And she knows exactly what to do...Elizabeth's read Salem's Lot. Separate the good vamps from the bad and wipe out the crowd that did her in. On top of that, she's got to figure out how to be mortal again-unless universities start accepting dead girls.

Trademark humor but lacking some sense... *SOME SPOILERS*.......2007-07-30

Julie Kenner's brand of humor is clear throughout the book, and she's got teenage angst and dialogue down pat (which is true of her soccer mom demon hunter series as well). Which would seem to make this a shoo-in for at least 4 stars. On the other, though many parts of this book made me laugh, others didn't make sense to me.

**SOME SPOILERS BELOW**

For example, even though the teen protagonist, Beth, herself admits she wasn't quite thinking when she got suckered by Stephen Mills and his pals, there are many instances when she seemed incredibly stupid. All the signs were there that things weren't what they seemed to be when the Queen Bitches invited her to join their squad, but those were discarded. And what bad guy (or good guy for that matter) wouldn't have a product tested before use, esp if it meant a gruesome death if the product didn't work? That is, blind faith probably wouldn't happen. That should have occurred to Beth early on... why would she think that Stephen would use the cream without having someone else test it... which would have been bad news for Beth. Then, when Nelson was unconscious in the gym, that would've been a good time to take care of him, but the thought never occurred to her and she was left with a witness who disappeared. There are several instances of commonsensical things like that that just slipped.

Someone also needs to do some fact-checking. Regardless of whether Beth's dad is a doctor or not, and whether or not Beth has a part-time job in a hospital lab, all blood products in a hospital blood bank are tightly regulated. There's a chronic blood shortage in the USA and elsewhere, each unit of blood is labeled and entered into a database, and whenever the units are removed from the blood bank, they have to be signed out with various forms. Maybe 1 unit of blood (unlikely, but let's be generous; maybe the blood is unusable for whatever reason) could be given out for a student project but several? A dozen?

A "routine" operation can require 6 units of blood or more. Think of how many units would be needed for a trauma patient or a major surgery. No hospital can spare so many units for non-patient care, much less a purported project. Questions would definitely be asked.

Regarding vampires and college. NYU was mentioned. Well, like so many universities, NYU does offer night classes. While it's not the way many students would like to attend college, the opportunity is there. I admit I don't know what reasonable excuse a student like Beth who's going to graduate high school (as opposed to a working adult or one with family) could give for wanting to attend night class rather than regular day classes, but I'm surprised that that option isn't even raised.

There were also loose ends that may have been deliberately left out and might be addressed in the sequel, one of which involved college boys Kevin and his brother. Who are they really and how did they know what was going on at Beth's school and the club where Beth first meets him? The same with Clayton and his grandfather. How did they know about vampires, etc?

**SOME SPOILERS ABOVE**

Things such as the above made what should have been an easy, fun read less smooth than they could have been. I'll be checking out the sequel, Good Ghouls Do, from the library.

See MaryJanice Davidson and Anthony Alongi's Jennifer Scales series as an example of humorous young adult books that work (Jennifer Scales and the Ancient Furnace (A Jennifer Scales Novel, Book 1), Jennifer Scales and the Messenger of Light, and The Silver Moon Elm).

My recommendations for other great young adult books (albeit they're darker tales) are Holly Black's A Modern Faerie Tale series (Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale, Ironside, and Valiant), Herbie Brennan's The Faerie Wars Chronicles (Faerie Wars, The Purple Emperor, Ruler of the Realm, and the upcoming Faerie Lord), Rachel Caine's Morganville Vampires series (Glass Houses (The Morganville Vampires, Book 1), The Dead Girls' Dance, and the forthcoming Midnight Alley), and Gena Showalter's Teen Alien Huntress series (Red Handed (Teen Alien Huntress), Blacklisted).

Courtesy of Teens Read Too.......2007-07-03

Beth Fasier should have noticed all the signs that were around her. She should have trusted her gut that something was wrong, but instead she just ignored it.

Beginning her junior year, Beth had everything she had worked for. From the possibility of being valedictorian of her class to getting closer to being able to go to school at NYU. But if only Beth hadn't worked so hard, then maybe, just maybe, she wouldn't be where she is today.

It all began when Beth decided to try out for the drill team, only to make her activities seem well-rounded. Unfortunately, Beth didn't make it since Tamara, a very popular cheerleader, told the coach to not let Beth on the team. Tamara had a different motive -- she wanted Beth to be on the cheerleader squad. Right then Beth should have known that something was wrong, but instead, when hearing that hottie Stephen Wills was going to be at one of the cheer practices, Beth knew she had to go. After all, it is Stephen Wills.

Turns out Stephen had asked Tamara to put Beth on the team, since he's had his eye on her for awhile. Of course, Beth was flattered, and when Stephen asked her out on a date Beth just couldn't say no. But when the most popular guy asks someone like Beth out on a date, she should have known that something was just not right.

It was too late for Beth, though, since on her date, Stephen bites Beth -- making her a fellow member of the undead.

Beth's life is over as she knows it, until her academic enemy, Clayton, tell hers that there is a possible chance for her to turn back into her usual self. But can Beth muster up the strength to actually do it?

Known for her books on the paranormal, Julie Kenner puts her own twist on what seems to be a hot topic in most teen novels, vampires. THE GOOD GHOULS' GUIDE TO GETTING EVEN may seem like another typical vampire story, but as the book gets going, readers will begin to notice that this novel is different from the rest of the pack. Fans of the undead will not be disappointed in Julie Kenner's new novel. Be sure to watch out for the sequel, Good Ghouls Do, which releases in October.

Enjoyable read.......2007-05-13

I would have given this a 5 for entertainment value alone, but I actually bought it thinking my pre-teen could read it, and I was wrong. Aside from a few 4 letter words (probably less than her 5th grade classmates say in the course of a day) there was sexual content. Not much, but it was there, in the form of fondling and some saucey dialogue.
Now, I enjoyed it and I am 32, but - it will sit on the shelf for like 7 years before I let my 10 year old read it. I don't want her thinking of how good it might feel to have a guy fondle her breast just yet...
Aside from not being clear on the actual age group it is recommended for, my only complaint it I can't stand to see the word schlep which finds its way into every Julie Kenner book I read. However, that is just a personal thing, doesn't affect the quality of the book.
It's good, just read it before you decide to let your child read it.

Vampy fun!.......2007-04-14

I'm a fan of Julie Kenner's books, so I was happy when I saw she wrote a teen book.
I wasn't the least bit disappointed in this book, considering it's target is the teen audience and I'm an adult. I think all teens and even adults will enjoy reading this fun and cute tale of a geeky and unpopular girl named Beth turning into a vampire on her 16th birthday. I cant wait for the sequel!

My recommendations along with this:

Boys That Bite and Stake That! by Mari Mancusi

Stellar!.......2007-04-03

Elizabeth "Beth" Frasier has a totally dysfunctional family. Her mother is a lawyer. Her father is a doctor. You would think having successful, well-to-do parents is a GOOD thing. On the contrary, it means they have ZERO time for her. Before they got divorced six months ago, all Beth's parents did was fight and their grumpiness was hard to deal with. Now, the parents are still the exact same way. The only difference is that they live in separate places. However, their indifference toward Beth comes in handy on her sixteenth birthday though. (Yes, Beth's dad forgot all about her Sweet Sixteenth birthday! As for Beth's mom, she simply had her secretary order a gift certificate to a book store and then ending up giving it to Beth a day late!) But this means that neither parent even noticed that Beth never came home that night ... or that Beth had become a vampire!

Beth has a major crush on Stephen Wills, the high school's star football player. So Beth is thrilled when Stephen suddenly seems to take interest in her. Beth never expects Stephen to kill her or turn her into a vampire! But Stephen has a task that only Beth can do. After all, Beth is smart! She's valedictorian. But all Beth wants is revenge against Stephen and the "popular girls" who lured her into Stephen's clutches.

Beth's best friend, Jenny, is on her side. So is Clayton, after he failed to stake her. According to Clayton, Beth can get her life back if she kills her "Creator" (A.K.A. her Master). Problem is that a vampire cant' stake their Master. And once Beth drinks from a living person, she `s doomed for eternity. Should that happen, Clayton and his grandpa would be gunning for her again. Worse, college aged vampire hunters are in the immediate area. What's an undead girl supposed to do?

***** I have not had this much fun with a teen book in a looong time! Beth is not only smart, but she is witty and filled with sass! Her friends are the same, but Beth just has it all in spades! The story is go great that I did not want it to end. So I am thrilled to find that there will be a second novel in this series. Don't worry, this book will NOT leave you hanging. It is fun watching Beth and her friends get even with Stephen and the cheerleaders, as well as, against the various other popular kids who got her turned into a vampire. But the author, Julie Kenner, is a Master at story telling! Again, the ending does not leave you hanging, but it does set up a problem that will obviously have to be handled in a part two. "Buffy" and "Firefly", move over! There is a new show in town. STELLAR! *****

You Find Out

double scoop of fun.......2001-03-11

Can Bailey School possibly get any weirder?? Well, funny you should ask...

Our small band of 3rd graders is presented with one of their newest run-ins with the strange and supernatural. Out on a trip to the Burger Doodle, they run into a new counter worker, Scout. In addition to having an odd name, Scout is an odd character! First off, her skin is ashen white, she wears a hooded black sweatshirt, and her eyes are blood red!! Speaking of blood red, what's that weird, thick red syrup she's always putting on her own ice cream? It looks a lot like... like blood!

It doesn't take long for the Bailey Kids to begin to wonder about her and her strange way of almost GLIDING over the tiles. Besides, she doesn't ever laugh or even crack a smile. It's not long before someone suggests that she might be a ghoul: an undead creature in the service of a vampire who is in search of new places for their vampire masters to live. When the Kids find out that Ms. Jeepers, their vampire teacher, is thinking of having her family move to Bailey City, they decide that action must be taken or else the city will be overrun by vampires!! One for a teacher is bad enough!

This is the 31st installment in the Bailey School Kids series and is a bit creepier than some of the others in the series. It's still got all the elements of the other books, a wisecracking Eddie who refuses to believe that any of these weird folk are anything but that-- just weird, not supernatural, a fast pace and fun plot.

I've reviewed a number of the books in the series and am finding them quite addicting. They're fast reads for beginning-to-intermediate readers (though an adult will likely finish them in less than half an hour), and the language is simple and fun. I often recommend this series for students & children who are not very interested in reading because the pace is fast, the plot is simple, and they're generally a lot of fun to read. So, scoop yourself out some vanilla and settle in with the Bailey Kids in this installment!

I would give this book BIG five stars........1998-06-17

I would give this book Big five stars beacause it tells what are they going to do to solve the mysteries and what's going on. I liked it because they give details about how they look like. I would compare this with Vacation Under The Volcano but I like Volcation Under the Volcano better because it has magic. I would recommend this book to a friend because in the book they try to figure out what is going on.

Book Description

Something wicked has been preying on Sunnydale students -- and whatever it is, its methods are pretty gruesome. Buffy locates some human bones that have been picked clean, and knows that she's dealing with an unearthly evil. Some help from the Scooby Gang would be ideal, but they've run into trouble of their own. Oz and Xander are literally (perhaps unnaturally) mesmerized by a hottie new chick band headlining at the Bronze, and Willow has been captured by Sunnydale's latest resident carnivores.

What they need is the Slayer. But in order to help her friends, Buffy must first dust a vampire -- one that has an urgent interest in Joyce Summers, the unique ability to resist sunlight, and an open invitation to the Summers' house...

A couple of games of let's pretend are to be found here. A band of ghouls pretending to be a band of girls, as in a rock band.

A demon pretending to be a Daywalker, as in the Blade variety. A non-vampire demon, that is. The former likes to recruit new band members and eat blokes, the latter just likes to beat people with reputations to within a negative inch of their lives.

One of the best Buffy books.......2005-06-08

Ghoul Trouble is definitely one of my favorite Buffy books. This season 3 book has all the characters acting just like they do in the show, and it has a great plot line too. I liked that the 2 villains tried to kill Buffy the same night and she had to chose which one to fight first. Vyxn, the girl band who are really ghouls, and Solitaire, the vampire who can walk in sunlight, both make great bad guys. The ending is a total surprise which mades a wonderful twist in the book. If you're a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you have to read this book. It's really that good. Also, if you've never read any Buffy books before, this is a great book to get started on.

'Good' Trouble! ^-^.......2002-12-27

First off, if I could give this book more than 5 [star]'s, I would. I am 11 years old, and a Buffy fanatic. I strted watching the show on BBC2, in 1998, when it debeauted, and was instantly hooked. When I saw an advert for the Buffy book 'The Remaining Sunlight' I went looking. But, instead I found the novel 'The Harvest.' TRS is a graphc novel, but TH was a novel. I read it in a week and loved it. I knew then that I had to collect all of the Buffy books. I now have several. Well, Ghoul Trouble was by far one of the best. The plot is excellent, the writing style is superb and the action is great. It is also good because ther are two villains, Solitaire and VYXN, the band of ghouls. I like the action scenes of Buffy the best and in here, the fights are so well described I could see a clear picture in my head of what was going on (especially the bar fight at the start! COOL!)
I recommend this book to any Buffy fan, newcomer of avid fan. It is a fantastic book and should be read. For plot, fighrs and drama, I personally give this book 100%!
PS. I also recommend 'Immortal', 'Revenant', and 'Prime Evil!'

Captures the feel of the series.......2002-08-20

When I'm twenty pages into a book and already asking myself if the author's written other stuff and where can I order it, that's usually a good sign.

Passarella does a superb job of capturing the feeling of the series, down to the odd, syncopation of the individual characters' speech patterns. The plots are handled well, in general, and while characters behave as you'd expect them to, there are still a few surprises.

My only complaint is with the Solitaire sub-plot. This day-walking vampire idea was great, I loved it, and then there was this added twist and I was wondering what would happen and then . . . well, I don't want to spoil the book, but let's just say that plot thread ends rather more anti-climactically than was necessary.

Great for any age!.......2002-07-07

Ghoul Trouble is a great book! I enjoyed this book very much, especially the ending. It had a twist that I never would've expected. This is a great book for any Buffy fan, or even a first timer. The characters personalities are captured very accuratley in the book, and the references to earlier episodes and books have been added in very well. A great book, a must have!

Another ones bites the dust........2007-09-25

This was another great book By Julie Kenner. It was cute, although in my opinion it wasnt as great at the first book The Good Ghouls Guide to Getting Even. This continues where the other left off. I hope there's will be another sequel to this because it ended with a lot of unanswered questions.

Oh, how I loved it........2007-09-11

Elizabeth "Beth" Frasier is the current valedictorian of Waterloo High School in Austin, Texas. She has a great boyfriend, Clayton Greene, a loyal best friend, Jenny, and an odd acquaintance with a cute college guy named Kevin. The down side is that Beth was tricked (earlier in the year) into becoming a vampire. Then she had to save Clayton from dying by changing him into a vampire as well. Kevin is a vampire hunter. The only reason Kevin has not staked them both is because they have yet to drink the blood of a LIVING person. Until such time, Beth and Clayton may still have a chance to become human again. To do so, they must figure out WHO Beth's maker/master is and then have the vampire staked.

Jenny is using her journalism skills to investigate students, teachers, and anyone else from the school in hope that the list of possibilities (suspects) can be narrowed down. Once trimmed to a decent size the hard part will begin. Jenny, Beth, Clayton, and Kevin must test the rest with holy water.

Of course there are major hurdles in the way. Someone, or a group of people, are trying to stake Beth into dust. Beth has just dodged an arrow from a crossbow when she overhears Clayton talking on the phone. And it definitely sounds like Clayton has hired someone to assassinate Beth so he can become human again. After all, Beth is Clayton's maker. Taking advantage of the romantic strain, Kevin is trying to win Beth's love and doing a very good job of it. There is also the fact that Beth stopped trying to figure out the day-walking formula for the higher up vampires of the school and it looks like they will have to force Beth to begin work on the formula anew. Lastly, there is another vampire clan in town; the Traditionalists. They do not want the day-walking formula to be found. If that means getting rid of Beth and anyone else in their way, then so be it.

***** If you missed the first book (The Good Ghoul's Guide To Getting Even) then run, don't walk, to the nearest book store and buy a copy! No, you do not HAVE to read the first book in order to enjoy this novel, but things will make a bit more sense to you if you do. Beth is smart, highly self-motivated, and very witty. Okay, sarcasm comes naturally to her, but that just makes her more realistic to readers, right? I am also very excited, because it LOOKS like there will be a third story to this undead adventure. Yippee! I can hardly wait! Author Julie Kenner will win awards with this new series. Out-freaking-standing! *****

Book Description

Manhattan. However, it is not the Manhattan that you and I are accustomed to now. This is a world where demons are real; where vampires and werewolves exist, and where things do go bump in the night. It is a world where magick and everything that cannot be explained away make a home. A serial killer is on the loose in Manhattan and the police can't stop himÉa serial killer whose inspiration it seems, is Jack the Ripper. Bodies are piling up and Homicide Detective Michael Leeds is desperate to stop this madman from striking again, but they just can't seem to catch a break. That's when he reasons that to deal with a monster, you must understand a monster, and there is only one person he knows that would even begin to fit that bill: Dorrie Gale. She is a woman educated and taught in a very different world from the one that Michael Leeds inhabits, and she knows all too well what kind of evil lurks upon the streets of Manhattan. She is one of the most respected paranormal investigators in the United States and she knows how to deal with monsters from personal experience. The real question isÉcan she stop the Manhattan Ripper before her own darkness rises up and takes control of her?
