Lory Alison takes an ambitious young girl without much real guidance and thrusts her into the middle of a world that at once is exciting, expected, murky, and dangerous: high school dating. Syndey’s Vampire Diaries weaves the warning signs of teen dating violence into a believable and infectious story familiar to many girls today even if they are not yet aware of the real vampires among them.
I will recommend this to the students I work with on a collegiate level.

…a delightfully humorous book with very serious and thought provoking subject matter. Lory Alison has created a work for the young adult in all of us. Her realistic style immediately engages the reader in the wonderful world of fiction yet touches on a little bit of truth in all of us. Alison takes the hot topic of vampires and makes it personal to her readers. Highly enjoyable!

“Syndney’s Vampire Diary is a uniquely relevant read, shedding light into the darkness of the early stages of dating and domestic violence. Pivotal to preventing or stopping abuse in one’s own life, is the ability to identify and develop healthy boundaries and raise self-esteem. Without these skills, there is increased risk of repeatedly experiencing abuse. I will recommend this novel not only for my tween and teen clients but for parents too, as it can be an effective tool in facilitating a creative and safe dialogue about those vital skills as well as what healthy and unhealthy relationships look like. Bravo!”
