Now here's where things get tricky. I read the first book and then later re-read it when I binged the series, but now we're on book two: mid-binge. Okay, so a quick review of this book shows that it's setting up for a lot of things that will happen later: issues with Joss, Vlad's growing powers, other vampires trying to steal Vlad's abilities, Vlad's blood bags not being enough for him... It's interesting, but you definitely have to keep reading the next couple books to see any of that get resolved. ( )

A quick fun read that I really enjoyed. In the second novel Vlad is all caught up in life threatening drama again. Vampires are hunting him still and there is now a slayer after him too. He's exploring more and more of his vampire side and making new friends, allies and enemies. I can't wait to start the next book. ( )

I finally finished this today. Vlad is back but he comes off as a little moodier this time which made it take me a little longer to finish. Other then that the story was pretty good. There are vampires after Vlad, Henry and Vlad's friendship is a little shaken but Vlad thinks he finds a new friend in Joss, Henry's cousin. There is also a side trip to Siberia to get Vlad some more vampire training and Vlad's relationship with Meredith is finally moving along.

You can definitely tell this is a part of a series but this volume at least has it's own story. ( )

Jasik gripped the photograph in his hand and scanned the face of the boy. Except for his pale complexion and clever eyes, no one would suspect the teen was anything other than human. But Jasik knew differently.

Book description
If middle school stunk for Vladimir Tod, high school is a real drain. Besides being a punching bag for bullies, he’s still stalled with dream girl Meredith, and he’s being tailed by a photographer from the school newspaper. Needless to say, practicing his vampire skills hasn’t exactly been a priority for Vlad — until now. A monumental trip to Siberia with Uncle Otis is Vlad’s crash course in Vampire 101.

Training alongside the most gifted vampires is exactly what Vlad needs to sharpen those mind-control skills he’s been avoiding. And he’d better get it right, because the battle brewing back home with the slayer who’s been stalking him could be Vlad’s last.
High school totally bites when you’re half human, half vampire.

Freshman year sucks for Vlad Tod. Bullies still harass him. The photographer from the school newspaper is tailing him. And failing his studies could be deadly. A trip to Siberia gives “study abroad” a whole new meaning as Vlad connects with other vampires and advances his mind-control abilities, but will he return home with the skills to recognize a vampire slayer when he sees one? In this thrilling sequel to Eighth Grade Bites, Vlad must confront the secrets of the past and battle forces that once again threaten his life.
