4 stars.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this one. I think I mostly remembered

Spoiler

Ash and Mary-Lynette not getting together at the end

and being disappointed in that so I completely wrote off the good stuff in this.

The opening was a good way to start, I liked that even while the girls were being threatened they were calm and speaking to each other (through telepathy) and did what they needed to do.

The Jade/Mark romance was cute, as was the Ash/Mary-Lynette romance. I liked Ash/Mary better though. What I didn't like was the part where

Mary, after kissing Ash, said she wanted to be a vampire. There was nothing that I read that made me think she'd want to be a vampire, there wasn't a reason given at all, from what I remember anyway. I just remember being extremely shocked when she suddenly said she wanted to be a vampire, it came out of left field.

I liked the mystery of who killed Aunt Opal and who was killing the animals. I completely forgot who it was and still surprised at the end.
