Since being turned into a vampire, Beth has found that life sucks, in more ways than one. The main one is, her boyfriend, Clayton, was also turned, by her, but to save his life, not for any nefarious reason. As a result, he has to kill her, unless she can kill her maker first, at which point, both should be turned back to human. She just has no idea WHO her maker is, and she can't spend a lot of time trying to find out. She has to perfect a daywalker formula or risk being killed by one faction, avoid the hunters that either belong to an opposing group of vampires or are being sent by Clayton, keep what she is a secret, work on beefing up her transcript, cheerlead, and cope with the fact that she's attracted to to boys, one who wants to kill her apparently and one who should want to. She'll have to live forever to get it all done, the question is, can she?

***** Reading a Julie Kenner book is a sheer treat for the mind, there's no two ways about it. Beth is a sympathetic heroine who keeps you laughing even though you're on the edge of your seat. At the end of each book this talented author writes, I find myself mentally screaming, what's next, I can hardly wait. *****

Beth Frasier's goal in life was to get good grades in high school and get into a good college, not to become a vampire. But she had no choice, nor did she have a choice when she turned her boyfriend Clayton into a vampire. Now, besides working on her grades, she is trying to find her "master" since the only way she can became human again is to kill him. She's also being hounded by a group of vampires who want her to invent a formula that will allow vampires to go out in the sun without being harmed. As if that weren't enough, someone is trying to kill her and she suspects it may be Clayton. Even worse, midterms are coming up!

"Good Ghouls Do", the sequel to The Good Ghouls' Guide to Getting Even, is an enjoyable young adult novel. Despite the premise, the novel is mostly humorous. Beth is a nicely done character, who misses the things we take for granted like being able to go out for a hamburger and fries. Her friends Jenny and Clayton are also nicely done, although I'd like to see Jenny be a little bit more involved in the story besides being Beth's sidekick. Author Julie Kenner does a pretty good job with the vampire aspects although she sometimes stretches things too far. For example, she has Beth's parents be divorced and workaholics so that they don't notice the changes in her, but that didn't work for me. In fact, I was getting annoyed that most of the adults in the novel remain clueless, but towards the end Kenner does a good job of explaining why. She doesn't do as good a job of explaining how Beth is able to get blood to drink in the beginning part of the novel, surely hospitals have strict rules as to who is allowed to take blood. I was left with a few questions at the end of the book, but this novel is part of a series and perhaps the questions will be answered in future books. The end of the book feels a bit rushed, even the cliffhanger, which could have been a bigger bombshell if written better.

Flaws aside, "Good Ghouls Do" is a pretty good book.

Good Ghouls Do continues the story of Elizabeth(Beth) Frasier, high school student turned vampire. In Good Ghouls Do, Beth's unlife gets even more complicated as she continues to search for the vampire master that made her while entangled in a romantic triangle with vampire killer Kevin and her new boyfriend Clayton. Good Ghouls Do is a worthy sequel to The Good Ghouls' Guide to Getting Even and is an engaging read that is sure to please. Kenner plays up the absurdity and chaos of Beth's unlife as she deals with both the problems of a normal high school student and the logistical issues of being a vampire. This is a fun book with a good mix of action, romance, and humor. The end of the book makes it clear that fans of Beth's journey can look forward to her continued adventures.

These books are pure fast moving enjoyment. We had a lot of dun reading them and are impatiently waiting for the next book. I would recommend these books to anyone who enjoys reading Sci-Fi Fantasy.

When we last left Beth Frasier, she had unfortunately let her guard down and was turned into a vampire. Beth was trying to become human again by having her creator destroyed, but while killing the wrong vampire she gets herself into a pickle by deciding to save her boyfriend from dying -- by changing him, too.

Now Beth is back and ready to not only turn herself but also her boyfriend, Clayton, into humans once again. That is, hopefully, before Clayton decides that he needs to kill Beth.

Of course, not everything is going well since the head cheerleader, Tamara, is still getting on Beth to decode the prophecy, which tells them how to walk during the day. Kevin, the college guy, is beginning to hit on Beth... Who can resist a college guy who is also a slayer? Little incidents begin to happen which leave Beth in situations where she is almost dead. Her parents, who can't stand each other, are beginning to talk once again. Clayton is beginning to be very secretive and just may be plotting against Beth. And so Beth just possibly may not have a date to the dance.

What totally puts a setback in Beth's plans on solving all of these problems is when she discovers two secrets that can, and will, change her life forever.

Being a teenage girl isn't so great, especially when you are a teenager and everything is against you. Yet, Beth Frasier still finds time to be funnier and wittier than ever. GOOD GHOULS DO is the perfect follow-up to Julie Kenner's previous novel, The Good Ghouls' Guide to Getting Even.

And the HUGE cliffhanger at the end only leaves the reader wanting more... and hopefully there is more.
