Vampires, Werewolves and Eve
2 books from the weekend away (nothing like a long plane ride, even though I slept the entire first leg and forgot to bring a spare for the final flight)
The Garden by Elsie V. Aidinoff.
This was on the teen top ten list and was fantastic! Its a retelling of the Garden of Eden story from Eve's point of view. Grade 11 Up. (and the author was Smith '53))
I don't remember where I heard about Gil's All Fright Diner by A. Lee Martinez, but the review mentioned something about people who liked Hitchhiker's Guide liking it, so I of course put it on my list. The main characters are Earl the vampire and Duke the werewolves who end up stopping off for a bite to eat at a diner and staying to help the owner get rid of a zombie problem and stop a local teenager from ending the world. Its funny and a quick read.
