The Vampire Stalker Allison Van Diepen Books

I was hooked on this story from the moment I met it's main character Amy. Like many of us, Amy has her favorite book series that she obsesses over. When she's not reading the book she hits the forums to talk about her favorite fictional crush, and about what's going to happen in the upcoming release. Not that I could even remotely relate to this *cough, cough* Like any obsessed fan who can't wait to get our hands on the next sequel of our favorite series, Amy and her friends meet up early one morning to pick up the highly anticipated sequel to the series. At this point in the story I'm totally snickering to myself realizing that I'm reading about a teen version of myself and I'm totally loving Amy's story. But, unlike Amy, my fictional crush doesn't appear in real life. Not that I have a fictional crush or anything...

Amy's fictional crush come to life is none other than the angst filled, vampire stalker Alexander Banks from her favorite series, Otherworlds. What I liked about this unique plot was that Alexander is not only from a world of paranormal characters, but he's from a completely different era. Alexander and Amy's worlds collide when Alexander follows the the notorious vampire Vigo through a portal that lands them both in modern day Chicago. Even though Amy is infatuated with Alexander as a character, she has a hard time believing he's really real, even after he saves her after Vigo attacks her.

I really liked that the settings for both worlds is set in Chicago, one in the 1920's and present day. I thought Allison did a fantastic job at explaining how it was possible for a writer's characters and story could come to life. I enjoyed the book despite the few times I felt there were a few things missing in the story. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and I felt Amy was really relatable. Alexander has all the mannerisms I'd except from someone in the 1920's and it was a little comical at how Amy explains technology to him. I liked their sweet romance and the manner in which Alexander treated Amy was what you'd except from his era. I was surprised with how much I enjoyed the story. It's a fun, unique read with a good ending. Amy's voice is witty and charming. I'd recommend this book to both tween and YA readers.

The Vampire Stalker Allison Van Diepen Books Reviews

I very much liked the concept of this book. The idea that the fictional character you have a monster sized crush on could come to life is wish fulfillment for all avid readers. Amy is a very typical young adult fangirl. She even writes fanfic about her favorite characters. She is also the responsible older sister to Chrissy who has taken the occasion of their parents divorce to start hanging out with an older crowd and being angry and defiant all the time. Amy and Chrissy live with their hard-working mother. Amy resents her more or less absentee dad.

One evening while walking in the park, she is attacked. She is also rescued and is very surprised to discover that her rescuer is Alexander Banks - a literary vampire hunter come to life. At first, Amy doesn't think he is real but is soon convinced. Alexander is chasing Vigo who is his vampire enemy from Otherworld Chicago. Amy is determined to help Alexander find Vigo.

I liked the relationship of Amy and Alexander. I was a little bit less enthralled with the explanation offered by the school librarian - Mrs. P. - that what happened was "literary physics." Not many librarians come to their jobs with a background in Physics.

It was interesting when Alexander, Mrs. P. and Amy go to talk to the very famous author of the Otherworld books. I'm sure that like many authors of popular series Elizabeth Howard was not surprised to see characters dressed to match characters from her book. Naturally, she had a hard time believing that Alexander was real.

I liked the action in this story as Amy and Alexander try to track down Vigo. I also liked that we saw some everyday school activities for Amy too. This was an entertaining story that will resonate with all readers who wish that the characters from the books they read could be real.
Imagine one night you bump into your favorite character from your favorite book (in this case your fictional book crush).
Well, that's exactly what happened to Amy.
Unfortunately, along with him came the villain of the book. And this kind of villain, the ruthless vampire Vigo, cannot be allowed to stay in Amy's world.
So of course Amy joins alexander in his one and only mission in life to kill Vigo (the vampire who killed his family).
Amy had a crush on alexander in the books, as any book reader teenage would, but he was only fictional, inside the pages of a book. Until now. Now that he's a real person.
What they both didn't expect was for them to fall in love. Especially Alexander, who dedicated his all life to one purpose alone, while avoiding attachments that can only get in his way to his goal.

*spoilers from now on*

I didn't expect a detailed answer as to how Alexander and Vigo (and the rest of otherworld) were real, but the author gives as a really intriguing explanation. The idea of some authors being able to see and feel in their minds other worlds (dimensions) and write about them was great.

This book had more potential in it, and I think the romance progress lacked, but I still enjoyed it and found it a refreshing and interesting read.

I was really worried about the ending. I didn't know what kind of author Allison Van Diepen is – the happily ever after kind? The bittersweet kind? Or, I was dreading it, the tragedy kind?
The only possible outcome I saw was for one of them to stay in the other one's world. And it didn't seem like it would happen because… Amy loves her family. I can't see her ever leaving them for a Chicago of the past full with dangerous vampires, even as much as she loves Alexander. And Alexander, not only I couldn't imagine him leaving his cousin James alone (James was the only one alexander cared about in his world), but also his purpose in life killing vampires and protecting his city from them. That's the only thing he ever knew.
I was especially terrified at the end when it seemed it was going to end badly for them, and felt a twinge in my eyes when they said their goodbyes.
When Alexander blurted out that he was staying, it was so unexpected I almost missed it.
But the ending… I couldn't wish for a better one for them. It was sweet and satisfying. As Alexander said it's only the beginning of their story.

James and Hannah I'm hoping they will be able to make peace between the human and vampires. More than that though… I wonder how their relationship will hold. It's true that James needs to accept the more vicious part in Hannah (as there is in any vampire, even the good ones) but I couldn't help but notice the story failed to address the most pressing question of their relationship the eternity part of being a vampire. While James grow old and eventually die, Hannah will remain the same forever. There is only one solution to that, one that neither James nor Hannah gave us any indication to – James becoming a vampire.

Book 3 of the otherworld trilogy if I was the author, I simply would have written the truth. Maybe in a more subtle way, though. I would have told Hannah and James story as it unfolds while simultaneously telling the story of how alexander and Vigo arrived to another Chicago (a Chicago much like a Chicago of our world), how Alexander had fallen in love with the girl he rescued from Vigo, how they both worked together until Vigo was dead and how… at the end… Alexander understands there is hope for him yet, hope for a new life in a new world with the girl he fell for.
