Suck It Up (Suck It Up #1)
Tired of those tales about dentally enhanced dark lords?
Before I wrote this book I thought all vampires were night-stalking, fangpopping, bloodsucking fiends. Then I met Morning McCobb. He’s a vegan vampire who drinks a soy-blood substitute called Blood Lite. He believes staking should be a hate crime. And someday he hopes to march in a Vampire Pride Parade. He was also the first vampire to out himself and try to show people of mortality, like you and me, that vampires are just another minority with special needs. Trust me—this is like no other vampire book you’ll ever feed on.
So, as my buddy Morning says, “Pop the lid, and suck it up.â€
How many obscure comic book references can you find in this book? The challenge is set!Not only is this a light, humorous teen book about a vampire chosen to be the first to "come out" to the world, the author makes sure the writing has the teen creds to go with the plot (fake websites, current events, etc.) One of the best things about the book is how it follows through the absurdities of comic book situations to their logical conclusion: Why do vampires have epidex, a synthetic body suit they
Not great...especially now with so many vamp books on the market, everyone's a connoisseur and this one is unfortunately just sort of okay across the board...it's a little humorous but not very, the characters are sort of interesting yet not quite likable, and the opposite attract love story lacked (for lack of a better word) bite. I wouldn't say Stephenie Meyer is the gold standard, but with her books being so high-profile one has to at least keep up with her these days, and this one couldn't
Morning McCobb was an orphan at the St. Giles Home in New York City. He never had anything to hold on to and never kept anyone close to him because of the fear of losing them. Except for one of the sister's taking care of him in the Foster Home, Sister Flora. But one night, while moved to another family's home, something happened to Morning that changed him forever. While sleeping he was awakened by an intruder in the house and looked over to see a tall, dark man over the limp bodies of his
I enjoyed this book. It was on my to read list for a long time and I decided to give it a try when I couldn't continue with the book I had been trying to read, and I'm glad I did. There are some interesting ideas and some funny moments that kept my interest all through. I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes from here.
At sixteen, Morning McCobb is a recent graduate of the IVL. No, Morning isnt a genius. He is a sixteen-year-old vampire just graduating from the International Vampire League. But this League of Vampires isnt what you would expect, their motto is to "drink culture, not life." They exist peacefully by blending in with humanity that is until now.Morning McCobb is going to be the first to "come out of the closet." Morning is the kind of vampire the League has been waiting for. Young, nonthreatening,

I would love to say that Morning was just your regular, average kid looking to grow up and do something with his life, but we both know that is a lie. Morning was never average, he was an orphan who had a not so great childhood and wanted to be a superhero. He wanted to save lives, take back bridges for pigeons, and just be a good person. However life throws some curveballs and he got hit with a major one. Morning got turned into a vampire at 16 and in this universe, when you get turned into aHow many obscure comic book references can you find in this book?
