The Lost Girls

 The Lost Girls by Sonia Hartl, 197 pages.

Due to the exceptionally cruel rules of vampirism, Holly Liddell hasn't been able to change at all since 1987, when her vampire boyfriend convinced her they would be in love forever. Thirty-four years later he abandoned her at a gas station and she's stuck with her crimped hair and night shift at Taco Bell, magically bound to follow him around. It's even worse when she finds out that she's the THIRD girl he's done this to, and that he's getting ready to do it again. Elton's other exes, Rose and Ida, are determined to kill him to both save this new girl and secure their own freedom, and as soon as Holly meets the new target (and feels some shockingly strong feelings about her) she's on board too. 

This book was interesting, but I'm not sure it entirely worked. It's rare to see a young adult novel about vampires portray them as truly monstrous, and it was definitely interesting that this one did. However, as a romance novel, and especially a romance between a human and a vampire, it made it a little hard to buy-in. There's just a lot of murder and corpse mutilation to feel too sympathetic to the protagonists you are clearly supposed to feel very sympathetic for. This book was sort of fun, but there are a lot of components that just don't feel like they quite come together.
