Inkcrush.Īs well as all the bloodlust and biting, there is a genuinely well written narrative. They are mates who watch each other's backs as well as let each other down and these contradictions are so well drawn that the characters breathe on their own and worked their way into my heart. Jamie and his mates are not your usual heroes or vampire slayers. The eeriness of a black ocean at night, and the loneliness of crashing waves Eagar captures this picturesque Australian scenery and turns it into an astonishingly spine-tingling gothic setting. Saltwater Vampires takes place in and around the sea (Australia is an island, after all). We Love YA.Įagar's writing style reminded me of our two heavy-weight authors (in their respective readerships) Tim Winton and John Marsden. Taking a keen look at modern day intimacy in a hook-up culture, Summer Skin expertly shatters notions of slut shaming and the pull of sexual desire. I forgot to post this here, which was silly because Insta is my happy place. I finished it last night, even though I only received it in the mail yesterday morning. View this post on Instagram (Shout out to librariankaren who prompted me) Summer Skin is going to be published in the States and Canada by Feiwel & Friends in Spring 2018. Kirsty Eagar has mixed Australian history, vampires and surfing and rolled out a fast-paced thriller that I could not put down. This is not your run of the mill teen vampire book. Last year the jocks from Knights College tried to shame her best friend. Saltwater Vampires is a little bit The Lost Boys and a little bit Thirty Days of Night, set in a small Australian coastal town. A searingly honest and achingly funny story about love, sex and navigating life on campus. From Kirsty Eagar, Summer Skin is a young adult novel about a modern-day riot grrl and an alpha male jock who explore love, trust, and double standards against the backdrop of todays hookup culture.Jess Gordon is out for revenge.
