MacAlister's shorter young adult novels GOT FANGS? and CIRCUS OF THE DARNED are being rereleased under the title CONFESSIONS OF A VAMPIRE'S GIRLFRIEND. Two well-cast and intricately charming novels, the works set the stage for MacAlister's adult paranormal romance IN THE COMPANY OF VAMPIRES, released in November 2010.

Francesca is working, reluctantly, at GothFaire with her mom while her dad gets used to living with his new young wife. At first, Fran is irritated at being one of the freaks, but she is determined not to use her ability to discover emotions from people and objects by touching them as a sideshow act. Quickly, Fran's life goes from semi- normal to flat-out freaky when she promises her mom to try and catch a thief, is told she is the Beloved of a Dark One, buys a mythical/special horse...and then there are the Viking ghosts...

Amusing and well-written, both novels encourage readers to discover more of Katie MacAlister's works.

Book Summary

One book containing both young adult books Got Fangs? and Circus of the Darned, plus new glossary and author’s note.

Circus of the Darned: Originally published January 2006

I’ve given up all hope of having a normal life. As if things weren’t freaky enough traveling around Europe with a group of witches, mediums, and magicians who make up my home-away-from-home (aka the GothFaire), now I also have to cope with a mysterious man who wants to steal my horse, and a time-travel counselor who insists I’m Cleopatra reincarnated.

I just want to go on a date with Benedikt, but when your boyfriend’s a vampire, nothing is easy. Not only is Ben keeping secrets from me, but somehow, I raised an entire battlefield of warring Viking ghosts–all of whom refuse to be sent back.

And I thought all I had to worry about was what to wear on my date…

Got Fangs? Originally published January 2005

All sixteen-year-old Francesca Ghetti wants to do is have a normal life where she’s one of the crowd, blending in so no one will know just how much of a freak she is. Dragged to Europe by her mother to join GothFaire, a travelling band of psychics, magicians, and assorted other oddities, Fran has to cope with not only the normal angst of always being a fish out of water, but also with her own fate as a psychometrist.

Enter one Moravian Dark One (referred to by most people as vampires) named Benedikt who claims Fran is the key to redeeming his soul, a mysterious horse who seems to have an involved past, an immortal friend who remembers what Mozart was like, and a demonologist who thinks he’s Elvis, and you can understand why Fran despairs of ever fitting in.
