Can you work for the Feds and still be fabulous? When “undercover” involves infiltrating a lair of nightclub poser vamps killing people in Florida (like, real murderers!), the only way to blend in is to stand out. The job certainly has its upside: five-alarm hotties, wicked fashion tips from the steampunk crowd, and partnering with my BFF Marcy and my gorgeous, genius boyfriend Bobby. And it helps to have a team behind me when facing my deadliest mission yet, where we might not actually be the scariest things to go bump in the night. Perks of this assignment: I get to spend a lot of time in clubs and my undercover outfit is smoking hot, with no VPL (visible panty lines for those playing along at home). Downside of this assignment: I have to offer Bobby to the killers as bait! PRAISE for Fangtastic, by Lucienne Diver:“Gina never fails to please, as she strides down the runway of afterlife with just the right mix of humor, make-up advice, youthful lust that never crosses the line, and a kung-fu style all her own. [Fangtastic] doesn’t miss a beat.”―KIRKUS REVIEWS "Gina has a biting, sarcastic voice that makes the Vamped books quick and entertaining reads."―VOYA "Diver spins an action-packed story that is filled with humor. Gina is a sassy heroine who tackles issues and challenges with proper vampire style."―SCHOOL LIBARY JOURNAL "A welcome lighthearted departure from gloomy vampire romance."―BOOKLIST

'Course, then you might become one of us―the few, the proud, the fangtabulous. Lucienne Diver interviewed by RT Book Reviews

Gina Covello's "Rules for Surviving Your Senior Prom" (spring issue of Modern Goth Magazine): Rule #1: Do not get so loaded at the after prom party that you accidentally-on-purpose end up in the broom closet with the surprise hottie of the evening, say the class chess champ who's somewhere lost his Coke-bottle lenses and undergone an extreme makeover, especially if that makeover has anything to do with becoming one of the undead. Gina Covello has a problem. Waking up a dead is just the beginning. There's very little she can't put up with for the sake of eternal youth and beauty. Blood-sucking and pointy stick phobias seem a small price to pay. But she draws the line when local vampire vixen Mellisande gets designs on her hot new boyfriend with his prophesied powers and hatches a plot to turn all of Gina's fellow students into an undead army to be used to overthrow the vampire council.Hey, if anyone's going to create an undead entourage, it should be Gina! Now she must unselfishly save her classmates from fashion disasters and her own fanged fate.(Book 1)

What do you wear to face down a cadre of killer kids?Gina Covello would rather be working on her manicure than missions for the Feds' paranormal unit to which she's been recruited. That changes when a group of killer kids takes out a family in the sunshine state and disappearances begin to plague the lifestylers who play at the kind of existence our fanged fashionista leads. She and her crew are sent undercover into the vampire clubs . . . which turn out to be run by real vampires.While Gina's BFF Marcy hangs with the steampunk-styled Burgess Brigade that spawned the killer kids, Gina herself is supposed to get in good with the fanged fiends behind the scenes, even to the point of playing double-agent, offering to hand over her powerful boyfriend Bobby. Her playacting threatens to become a bit too real when she discovers things about her spy handlers that make her wonder whether she's truly on the right side of the battle between Feds and fangs.Book 3 in the Vamped Series.

After surviving super spy club training, Gina, Bobby and their fanged friends are sent on their first mission--undercover at a New York high school where some seriously weird stuff is going down. As excited as Gina is to get out of spook central, she's less than impressed with her new identity as goth-girl Geneva Belfry. No color palette to speak of--more chains than a bike rack--and don't even get her started on the shoes. About the only thing she can say for her all-black wardrobe is that it's great for hiding blood spatter and other fashion faux pas.And there will be blood.Kids at the high school are going crazy--sudden outbreaks of violence, kids sleepwalking through school or dropping out entirely. Serious magic surges have been detected in the area, along with a mysterious and nearly mythic figure . . . someone who should be long dead and at least thrice buried.Some legends just won't die.(Book 2 in the VAMPED Series)
