MacAlister's shorter young adult novels GOT FANGS? and
CIRCUS OF THE DARNED are being rereleased under the title
CONFESSIONS OF A VAMPIRE'S GIRLFRIEND. Two well-cast and
intricately charming novels, the works set the stage for
MacAlister's adult paranormal romance IN THE COMPANY OF
VAMPIRES, released in November 2010.
Francesca is working, reluctantly, at GothFaire with her
mom while her dad gets used to living with his new young
wife. At first, Fran is irritated at being one of the
freaks, but she is determined not to use her ability to
discover emotions from people and objects by touching them
as a sideshow act. Quickly, Fran's life goes from semi-
normal to flat-out freaky when she promises her mom to try
and catch a thief, is told she is the Beloved of a Dark
One, buys a mythical/special horse...and then there are the
Viking ghosts...
Amusing and well-written, both novels encourage readers to
discover more of Katie MacAlister's works.
One book containing both young adult books Got Fangs? and
Circus of the Darned, plus new glossary and author’s note.
Circus of the Darned: Originally published January 2006
I’ve given up all hope of having a normal life. As if things
weren’t freaky enough traveling around Europe with a group
of witches, mediums, and magicians who make up my
home-away-from-home (aka the GothFaire), now I also have to
cope with a mysterious man who wants to steal my horse, and
a time-travel counselor who insists I’m Cleopatra
reincarnated.
I just want to go on a date with Benedikt, but when your
boyfriend’s a vampire, nothing is easy. Not only is Ben
keeping secrets from me, but somehow, I raised an entire
battlefield of warring Viking ghosts–all of whom refuse to
be sent back.
And I thought all I had to worry about was what to wear on
my date…
Got Fangs? Originally published January 2005
All sixteen-year-old Francesca Ghetti wants to do is have a
normal life where she’s one of the crowd, blending in so no
one will know just how much of a freak she is. Dragged to
Europe by her mother to join GothFaire, a travelling band of
psychics, magicians, and assorted other oddities, Fran has
to cope with not only the normal angst of always being a
fish out of water, but also with her own fate as a
psychometrist.
Enter one Moravian Dark One (referred to by most people as
vampires) named Benedikt who claims Fran is the key to
redeeming his soul, a mysterious horse who seems to have an
involved past, an immortal friend who remembers what Mozart
was like, and a demonologist who thinks he’s Elvis, and you
can understand why Fran despairs of ever fitting in.
