Rules For Vampires: Ghosts Bite Back - Alex Foulkes

Leo is back and whilst her family are preparing to host the Blood Moon Banquet at Castle Motteberg, Leo has far bigger things to worry about when she is summoned to the ghost world to stand trial for the murder of the Orphanmaster.  With the whole of the vampire council attending the banquet, with strict instructions from her mother, it is imperative that Leo is on her best behaviour but with the trial scheduled for the same time, can Leo be in two places at once and can she keep her mother happy whilst also clearing her name?  what could possibly go wrong?

I always love a good spooky book, and I loved the different take on this with Rules For Vampires and the humour that is woven into the plot (you can read my review here) so it was wonderful to catch-up with Leo and Minna again.  I love the fact that Leo isn't afraid to be herself and her strong, resilient character shines through. Her friendship with Minna is strong, despite the fact that ghosts and vampires are sworn enemies.  Her determination to do what is right (unless that means wearing a very ruffly dress!) is evident and both her and Minna's sense of right shines through.

With suitably dark and gruesome touches woven through the book, Rules For Vampires Ghosts Bite Back is a deliciously delightful read with just the right amount of ghoulish fun and is going to make a popular addition to my office bookshelf in school tomorrow.
