STAKE THAT! is Mari Mancusi’s sequel to BOYS THAT BITE. Mancusi is back with fun characters, plot twists and
turns, and humor any teen (or adult) will appreciate.
The story of twins Sunshine and Rayne continues with the focus on Rayne’s adventures. Mostly written in “blogging” style
complete with comments at the end of the posts, Rayne brings readers up-to-date on the girls’ vampire dilemmas.
In this second book, Rayne is faced with her new role as a vampire slayer. She’s learning everything, from which vampires
are which to the art of carving her own wooden stake. To complicate matters she must work with Jareth, a vampire who
makes Rayne’s head spin.
Add to the adventures a love interest for the girls’ mother, a dangerous, unknown vampire virus, and continued confusion
about their absent father, and Mancusi once again grabs teen readers and has them begging for more. Fans of BOYS THAT
BITE will not be disappointed with the direction the story is headed, only with the fact that they’ll have to wait for the story
“to be continued”….
