Fun children's book about a 10 year old girl being trained to become a vampire hunter. But are vampires as evil as she's been taught? ( )

Preteen Etty Steel is being trained by her mother to be a vampire hunter. Even though her hunter skills have not shown themselves yet, her mother wants to be prepared and trains her hard. She is not allowed to tell anyone she is a hunter, even her best friend. Although things change when she finds out witches exist and her friend is one. A new kid starts school with them and Etty is sure he is a vampire. Etty soon discovers that the training and history lessons she has learned about vampires are not as black and white as her mother claims them to be.

I enjoyed this very much. Etty’s story is likable especially for those into Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Even though Etty is much younger as she learns to train than Buffy. The story is fun, exciting, and has a sort of comfort I find in watching or reading BTVS. I also feel like there is so much more to learn in this world. We learned a little back story to vampires but I am also interested in the back story to magic and witches.

There is nothing I can think of constructively to make the story better but I do think there is something that would because it was really good but not awesomely great. I just can not think of what.

The second book in this series is out and I am eager to read it. Etty Steel is my new favorite vampire hunter. ( )
