Heather Brewer was not your typical teen growing up. She wore black, danced under full moons, and devoured every book in sight. She hasn't changed much. Today, Heather can be found writing in her funky, black Happy Bunny jammie pants, dancing under a full moon, devouring every book in sight, and attending renaissance faire in full costume (and in character).
When Heather's not writing, dressing up, dancing and reading, she's answering email, which she loves to get over at her website.
Gr 7 Up-Vampire Vladimir Tod has more issues to deal with than the usual high school student looking forward to graduation in the fifth and final episode (Dutton, 2010) in the series by Heather Brewer. He has a death sentence to contend with-two, actually. One is sought by the Elysian Council and the other by the Slayer Society. And then there's the issue of his dead father being alive and full of secrets that will change the way Vlad sees everyone around him. Kevin Pariseau's vocal ranges perfectly match the personalities of the characters. With changes in pacing, accents, and vocal depth, Pariseau will have listeners feeling as if they are fighting alongside Tod to find the answers he needs to save his life and the lives of everyone he loves. All of this is done while still balancing a resonance true to typical teen angst and building steady suspense. Those who have a familiarity with the previous titles will be better able to understand the events transpiring here. A definite purchase for collections where the series is popular.-Stephanie A.
