Gina woke up to...complete darkness. She died in a car crash--and woke up three days later in her coffin underground. Not the best way to start her undead life. But after climbing out of the grave and having Bobby (the geek vamp who turned her) bring her some new clothes. Gina's ready to make her debut at graduation.
Until she and Bobby are taken and added to Mellisande's army. Mellisande is creating a vampire army to overthrow the vampire council and have all control. Gina doesn't agree and has to find a way to rescue her classmates from Mellisande's control. All while looking fabulous, of course.
The story has a great premise, which really becomes apparent about a third of the way through the book. Gina shines at some points, but otherwise you have to work to like her. That could be intentional on the author's part. However, once the story gets really going, the action is interesting. The humor in the book also adds to the interest.

Wish You Were Dead by Todd Strasser
Madison's former friend Lisa is missing. The problem? Madison and Tyler were the last to see her. But nothing bad ever happens in Soundview, so no one is worried at first. Then Adam, Lisa's boyfriend and Madison's best friend also goes missing, again with Madison being his last contact. The rumors say they ran off together, but Madison knows better. Then Courtney, another of Madison's friends, disappears, and Madison can't help but wonder if she'll be next.
You are definitely left wondering who the kidnappers are throughout the book, and the ending is a surprise. You get a glimpse of the killers' mind throughout along with other points of view. A fascinating read.
