Book Review: 'Nightlife' follows vampire's = teen=20 angst

By Ben = Steelman
Staff=20 Writer

So what's life, or un-deadness, like for a teenaged vampire? Pretty = much like=20 that of any 18-year-old humanoid, according to Wilmington author Nancy = A.=20 Collins.

Teachers are always on your case. The big dance is looming, so you = have to=20 find the right formalwear, not to mention an escort who isn't a spod=20 (Vampire-speak for a nerd, brainiac or grind). Your parents wouldn't = approve of=20 whoever you're dating, whether you told them or not.

Of course, VAMPs (Vampire-American Princesses) do have a few = additional=20 problems: The Van Helsings are trying to kill them. Sunlight, while not=20 necessarily fatal, is damaging in large doses. Plus, the Mean Girls in = this=20 particular subculture are really, really mean - as in homicidal.

"Night Life," the sequel to Collins' young adult novel "VAMPS," takes = up=20 closely after the previous book leaves off.

Collins told the Prologue book club last month that she wrote the = first three=20 books of the series almost simultaneously, and so far they read like=20 sub-sections of the same story. Since these novels all top off at less = than 250=20 pages, together, they'd be shorter than any of the later Harry Potter = books.

Again, Collins hits the mark with a mixture of edgy humor, soap opera = and,=20 yes, a little action that should appeal to fans of "Buffy the Vampire = Slayer" or=20 "Angel." This time, spoiled princess Lilith is sneaking behind her dad's = back to=20 try a career as a high-flying fashion model. (In Collins' universe, = vampires can=20 still have their pictures taken - and leave reflections in a mirror - = until=20 their mid-20s. It's an effect that comes in gradually, like wisdom = teeth.)

Meanwhile, VAMP-from-the-wrong-side-of-the-tracks Callie finally = learns her=20 long-missing father's identity - he turns out to be the Bill Gates of = the=20 vampire world, the creator of the modern blood bank industry - which = explains=20 how she wound up in exclusive Bathory Academy.

This actually complicates matters, since this means that Callie's = major rival=20 at Bathory, Lilith, is actually her half-sister. In vampires, sibling = rivalry=20 often turns deadly.

As in "VAMPS," Collins' great virtue in "Night Life" is a brisk, = no-frills=20 style that moves the story along quickly toward "Rauhnacht," the great = ball=20 where debutantes are presented to the cream of vampire society - and = toward a=20 steep cliffhanger ending.

Some of the characters are lightly sketched to familiar stereotypes - = picture=20 Veronica, Reggie and Jughead with fangs. Collins livens the proceedings, = though,=20 with some sprightly, somewhat macabre in-jokes. You haven't lived, for = example,=20 until you've seen the vampire version of Blind Man's Bluff.
