The Vampires Next Door
Allison is the new girl in St. Augustine, she misses her friends in Virginia and hasn't had much luck in her new home except for swooning at the boy across the hall, Rodham. Allison's luck soon changes as noisy and strange neighbors move into the apartment complex; they party all night, aren't seen during the day and their arrival has sparked strange visions and a green glow that Rodham can't seem to resist. Rodham teams up with Allison to figure out just what these neighbors are up to. Together, Allison and Rodham open up a dangerous world that they have been fated to. As Slayers, they are two parts of a team that was created to destroy the Bloodseekers in a deadly game that has gone on for centuries.
A well-crafted, intense paranormal romance with vampires that packs a lot into a short book. Allison was a very easy character to relate to and I enjoyed her coming into her own as she became confident in her relationship with Rodham and discovered her gifts as the Garnet Slayer. I enjoyed learning all of the elaborate details and history of the Witches of darkness and light, Bloodseekers and Slayers. I appreciated the creation story as it gave a purpose to all of the different beings. The constant action and discovery of new magic and beings kept the story quick-paced. With a shorter story, there were a lot of lucky coincidences that brought people together rather quickly; however I was still easily wrapped into the story and can't wait to meet more Slayers.

The Monster Upstairs
Sixteen year old Mandy arrives home to find her mother on the brink of death-injured by something or someone very dangerous. Before Mandy's mother passes, she imparts some important but mysterious information to her. Mandy is then whisked off into a new and dangerous world by her upstairs neighbor, Joel. Very quickly, Mandy learns that her life is not what is seems. Mandy is a twin daughter of a dark witch and light witch as well as the next amethyst Slayer. The woman she thought was her mother, as well as Joel are really Werewolves who have been protecting her. Now, it is time that Mandy learn to harness her powers. The rest of the Slayers need Mandy in order to help rescue her twin, Veronica.
The Monster Upstairs picks up right where The Vampires Next Door leaves off and bounces between Mandy and Joel's story and Allison, Rodham, Lacy and Veronica's story. In The Monster Upstairs we get to meet even more supernatural creatures: werewolves, shifters and boggarts. Mandy's journey is a supernatural adventure that is action-packed from the start. I enjoyed learning about the light and dark witches, the werewolf pack and how they fit into everything. With Mandy's gifts, the Slayers are growing in strength, but not complete yet. It seems that Veronica has some tricks up her sleeve to help the others get to her and when Allison's friend Vicky visits, they might find another piece of their Slayer puzzle.
