Rendition Toward Books Uninvited
When rejection comes back to bite you...Jordan's life sucks. Her boyfriend, Michael, dumped her, slept his way through half the student body, and then killed himself. But now, somehow, he appears at her window every night, begging her to let him in.
Jordan can't understand why he wants her, but she feels her resistance wearing down. After all, her life -- once a broken record of boring parties, meaningless hookups, and friends she couldn't relate to -- now consists of her drinking alone in her room as she waits for the sun to go down.
Michael needs to be invited in before he can enter. All Jordan has to do is say the words....

Uninvited is 100% completely and utterly a young adult book. Dont be mislead into thinking that because youre an adult who enjoyed Twilight you will enjoy this!I count myself very lucky that my introduction to Amanda Marrones work was through Devoured, which I thought to be an original story with some quite thrilling moments. If Id started with Uninvited I would never have touched another one of her books.Im guessing that if youre a teenager in the 14-19yr old bracket (which is the targetThe world is ending. I know it. If the world is infested with sex crazed, pot smoking, beer drinking teenagers such as the ones in this book then I know for sure this world is doomed. It simply amazes me that such people exist. Or is the author trying too hard? Does she really think teenagers are like that these days? Because I know for sure I wont sleep with a new guy every week just because I dumped my old asshole of a boyfriend. Gosh there are just so many things wrong with this book. But
This one is between 2 and 3 stars for me. It's a bit of a tough one. On the one hand, the parents are horrific - they are even more absent and self-absorbed than you usually find in these books (for how else can their child be numbing themselves with drugs, alcohol and random sex with near strangers without some kind of intervention). The main character has a lot of problems (see previous sentence), but also a dead ex-boyfriend who has become a vampire and stalks her every night. It was hard to
2.5 Stars.Meh. The plot wasnt terrible, but it was very thin-veiled and I feel like not a whole lot happened in a long amount of time. There were a few things that didnt add up, and Michael made a poor vampire character. Not, like, Edward Cullen bad, but just... not very interesting. A lot of the vampire lore stayed true to classic vampire tales (I didnt know vampires were repelled to water until reading this book), but, as with the rest of the plot, it was very thinly veiled.Also, Im not
If you want a YA book in the vampire fiction line, this one is clearly superior. The vampire-human relationship is an abusive one; this stalker hates and would kill Jordan, the protagonist, and is certainly affecting her psyche and behavior the way an actual stalker would. There's no Bella thinking Edward is so adorable when she discovers he's been watching her sleep for months. No. This relationship is dangerous and destructive, and can only be resolved by Jordan taking action. Melodramatic and
I don't have a lot of any, really nice things to say about Uninvited, but I'd like to say upfront that I didn't expect to - and at the time I read this book, I was an easy reader to please. Books I cannot force myself to read now, are books I used to love...books that I dislike now, but can still see far outweigh Uninvited in quality. So while I didn't have any expectations for this book, I was still intrigued by the premise; boyfriend kills himself, returns as a member of the undead, haunts
Jordan is a smart kid, she makes good grades even though her school attendance is sporadic at best. Her attendance problems and social anxiety were bad and are now terrible, because her ex-boyfriend, Michael, is a vampire whose haunting her every night. The vampire in this book follows very Dracula/folkloric traditional rules. Crosses and holy water, stakes through the heart are all going to hurt, he can turn into mist and bats. And he has to be invited in order to enter a building. Gorgeous
