I can sum up this review in four words and some exclamation points: vampire slayer were-unicorn awesomeness!!! You need more information than that? Well, if you insist...

Meet Pearl: 16 years old, vampire, has a taste for mint chocolate chip ice cream, and doesn't believe in unicorns. At least until she gets staked by one in an alley. Somehow she makes it back home, where her highly eccentric family is waiting for her. Unfortunately, they don't believe Pearl's crazy unicorn story. Pearl returns to the scene of the crime, where she's then kidnapped (not by the unicorn), and soon discovers that she now has a reflection and can go out in full sunlight. She spends a whole day roaming the city and misses her lessons back at home. Then her parents bestow the worst punishment imaginable on poor Pearl...high school! Dun dun dun!!!

I really enjoyed Pearl's transformation from having a better-than-thou attitude towards humans, to actually befriending them and caring about their feelings. Zeke and Matt, wanna-be vampire hunters, are hilarious! I want to be friends with them! Evan is a sweetheart, if a little odd, and is so much better than Pearl's jerk of a boyfriend, Jadrien. Although I did like him, since how can you not like someone who says things like "I'll compare your eyes to stars, your lips to rubies, and your breath to industrial-strength air freshener."

I absolutely adored the author's writing style. It's easy and light. The dialogue is hilarious and there's plenty of quote-worthy material:

"I saw a My Little Pony refugee. Horselike. Kind of glowy. Big sharp horn. It looked as if it had jumped off a poster from the bedroom of an eight-year-old girl. It walked toward me. I mocked it. It stabbed me. Chalk this one up as my most embarrassing moment ever."

"The Titanic labeled 'unsinkable' is ironic. Your skirt is just short."

"In fact, the existence of said heart i s open for debate, given the whole no-pulse thing, which, by the way, I've never understood, because how does the lovely, delicious blood travel through our body if we don't have a pulse? Maybe I'll eat a scientist someday and ask him."

"It won't last forever. Nothing does. Not even Spam."

I had to stop jotting down specially selected quotes after about page 80 or else they'd take over this review, but I'm sure you get the point. This book was so much fun, so quirky, unique and just loveable! Easily one of my new favorites. I'm just sad it's not a series...

Drink Slay Love Sarah Beth Durst Books Reviews

I was on a blog recently, and for whatever reason, people were saying how good this book was, even though it was an older book. So of course I checked it out and then I had to buy and read it almost immediately. I know some of you have probably already read this, but it was completely new for me, and I am sure others probably would enjoy this too. For me it was a really new spin on the vampire world-always a good thing, in my opinion. It’s YA, but totally can be easily enjoyed by adults.
Before I go any further, I should mention the unicorns. And yes I mean the mythological creatures. This book has them, and they are sparkly. Not something I normally would ever read about, but it absolutely worked in this book. Don’t let that turn you off the book because you will be missing out on a really good read.
Pearl is a sixteen year old born, not bitten, vampire. She spends her evenings stealing cars and finding her next “snack” as she calls her victims-which she only sips from. She lives with her family. If her living with her family sounds all domestic, then think again. Her family consists of really strange aunts, uncles and cousins. And her parents are really different. The idea of parental love doesn’t exist here. They are not good people, not by a long shot. Neither is Pearl, which kind of bothered me at first. One night, things happen involving a unicorn and afterwards Pearl starts to change. She becomes the only daywalker that exists and ends up in high school. This is pretty much the story of what happens when she goes to school and when a horrible plot is hatched that will involve horrible human deaths.
To me, this was a refreshingly new premise, rather then a typical vampire book. The characters were really different, and fully realized by the author. The vampires were pretty horrible and the humans were mostly good. The humor in the story was pretty great and Pearl’s snark was off the charts. I so do enjoy a good main character with snark! Of course there is a romance, involving Evan, a boy she meets right after she changes. He was the archetypical, perfect teenage hero.
The story has a lot to say about morals or lack there of, in some of the characters. It addresses all the high school cliques and the hierarchy that exists there. The story made me think back to high school and remember-some good stuff and of course, some bad. The whole book, if you break it down, really was written to make you think, in addition to being just an all around excellently told story.
If you like humor and snark in your paranormal main character, then this book should be a must read for you. If you like evil villain characters, without an ounce of redeeming qualities, you have found your book to read. I found it to be an an exciting ride all the way through and thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. (RabidReads.com)
