Book Review: Peeps
Summary: 5 Stars
Cal's life hasn't been much fun since a one night stand turned him into a carrier for the parasite-spread disease better known as Vampirism. The night vision and amazing strength don't really make up for having to track down and capture every girl he's so much as kissed since then, since his exes are Parasite-positives - 'Peeps' for short - and have a habit of being mindless cannibals. Being a sexual vector for the apocalypse sucks. But as Cal gets closer to finding the girl who infected him, he discovers that the parasite may be more then a disease - and that he's involved in a plot older then civilization.
Peeps is possibly my favorite of the many YA vampire books out there, both for it's focus on evolutionary theory and the explicit (rather then the more usual metaphorical) treatment of Vampirism as an especially inconvenient STD. And the plot isn't bad either. Some of the best and most disturbing parts of the book are its chapters about the strange and somehow fascinating world of parasites. I don't think I'll ever feel quite as secure about humans' place on top of the evolutionary chain.
