Uninvited Review

Uninvited By Amanda Marrone

3 months ago Jordan´s ex-boyfriend Michael Green died, and 2 days after, Michael showed up at night outside her window asking her to let him in and he told her about his so called dead, and Jordan knows that he is now a vampire. Last summer Jordan babysat some kids and a boy moved in next door to the boys. That boy was Michael and her and Jordan started dating. But when school started again Jordan Dumped, the quickly very popular Michael, because she has a thing with people, Like: she can´t make small talk, she would have to sit and smill to all Michael´s popular friends. And Michael went on really fast already kissing a girl that day. And had since gone out with many girls, until his so called dead, being called suicide. Now he has for 3 months kept showing up at night asking Jordan to let him in, telling her he loves her and that they can be together and Jordan knows that if he comes in he is going to change her, but she can´t help but wonder if he really do love her and she really loves him. Jordan´s daily rutine is to get drunk and high. Eighter with her so called friends: Janine, Gabby and Rachael. At parties or alone in her room. Jordan has a crappy family life were her family doesn´t pay attention to her and let her do whatever the hell she wants. Her mom writes her notes, without knowing to what, so Jordan half the time skip classes. Last summer Jordan was on the running team, with a boy named Danny who she really liked and kisses with at a party. He called her after, but because of Michael death and him showing up, she never called her back. Now Jordan friends is teling her to go out with them at a party at one of the kids from school, but if Jordan go out at night and Michael comes and she isn´t in her room, is he then going to follow her?? She doesn´t know and for the first time at a party she doesn´t wanna get too drunk or have sex, but she almost doesn´t follow that rule. Suddenly Jordan sees Michael outside the party, so Jordan drags a friend who is too wasted to that person car, so she can get out of there. They drive all night until Jordan sees her message´s with a message from Lisa, her old best friend who has just gotten out of rehabe, telling her that she is at Jordan´s house, is scared and that Michael is alive. She talk to Lisa and finds out that Lisa was at the hospital instead of rehabe, because of some diseas. Lisa tells her they have got to do something about Michael, but that Jordan has to wait for Lisa before she does it. When Lisa is gone Jordan makes a stake out of the tree outside her window, she also calls Danny and they decides to start over. That night Michael comes and she finds out that he doesn´t love her, and she tells him she broke up with him because they had nothing in commen. When Michael says he is going to go after Lisa, Jordan invites him in, but he tricks her and tells her he is going after Lisa anyway and that he will just come back for her anytime. Jordan calls Rachael and tells her everything, and she brings corse and holy water and go after Michael. They find Lisa with him, but they ends up killing him. 3 month after Jordan and Rachael aren´t friends with the other 2 anymore. Jordan is going out with Danny and Rachael with Danny´s brother, and Jordan has been sober for 3 months.

So i was really looking forward too a great, mayby with action and scary things, book. And guess what??...I didn´t get it. I didn´t thought that this book was well developed, there could have been so many other things in it, but there wasn´t. Sometimes you where one place in the book and then a person say a sentense and then you are a whole other place. I didn´t thought that the book knew how to discribe its suroundings. I thought that there was going to be more in the fact with Michael been outfront calling for her, but i just got a pathetic feeling out of it, you know, and it was only like 2 times he showed up, made a bad effort and their conversation lasted for like 1-2 pages? Really a letdown. I thought it was going to be an exiting book, but it was just: party, stupid people, and kids who suddenly knew how to defend against a vampire and you don´t even get to know how they know to do it. I also didn´t thought that the characters were developed well as well as the story And the whole thing just happened way too fast. The author might have thought to make the book longer and better developed.

The only 2 things i really like was the fact that she put down the tree in the end. And the cover that is really beautiful. When i look at the cover and the title, i thought it was going to be a different book, with more suspence, more scary, better discriptions of things and then i read it and it was such a letdown.
A thing for insects?? ...cockroaches!!! Now that is just weird plain weird, and utterly disgusting. So really not a book i wanna read again and i definently don´t recommend it.
