I'm not going to sit here and list all the reviews, already had plenty of those over the last few weeks... here are four, in no particular order - here, here, here and here.

Shocktilyoudrop had the trailer for "Jennifers Body" yesterday here - the blurb may say demon, but this looks distinctly vamp - she has pointy teeth and bites necks at least!
The release dates are out for "Mr Darcy, Vampyre" by Amanda Grange. August 11th for the USA, September 1st for the UK.
The Examiner has a piece on why females are drawn to the Twilight series. Their words, not mine.
The Examiner follows that with a piece on the "let the right one in" remake - this has some big boots to fill, and if it bombs Matt reeves (director) is going to get some serious abuse for remaking what is widely accepted as one of the best vamp / horror films for the last 20 years. Watch the original!
New that "Vampire Diaries" is going to bes hot in Atlanta here. This is not to be confused with the indie production version (that looks pretty good) this is the teenage-targeted vamp series destined for the CW channel this autumn.
Lisa Westerfield does a detailed review of "Marked" by PC & Kristen Cast here for the Examiner.
Taliesin puts his excellent reviewing skills to good use here, on "Skin Trade" by Laura K Hamilton.
The examiner has a nice piece on the Dracula Tours around Transylvania here.
