My eighteen-year old kid and her friends
keep me young with their flow of vampire
romances, author Richelle Mead caught
their attention with ‘Vampire Academy’
Spent an illuminating afternoon reading
my way through this schoolgirl story of
exciting emotions whirling in teenager
bodies and minds, a reminder of youth
An insight into shiny eyes and bright
enthusiasm for life with no fear or dis-
appointment holding them back from
total immersion in happy sensation
This should be compulsory reading for all
jaded palates to bring back that feeling of
magic and joy at being alive in a strange
and enchanting world of emotions
My daughter insists on discussing the plot
with me, demands I explain why I loved the
characters and their special powers, I must
listen to her sparkles of joy and delight
Sharing her happiness is doing more for me
than the book itself, I tell her it is a magnetic
personality and a huge heart that attract me
in men, not appearance, she is still
Mesmerised by a handsome face without
caring so much about the powers within…
yes, when we are young we are attracted to the wrapping 🌿
