You Suck: A Love Story, by Christopher Moore (2007)
This was pretty good. 19 year old Tommy sleeps with his hot vampire girlfriend Jody and becomes a vampire himself. Lots of vampire feeding/sex/hiding adventures in San Francisco, including those with "assistant" 16 year old Goth girl, a giant shaved cat, etc. This was a sequel and I didn't read earlier book. Maybe I've had enough Christopher Moore for awhile. I'll say 3 1/2 stars.
Here's Publisher's Weekely review:
Moore's latest (after 2006's A Dirty Job) is a cheerfully perverse, gut-busting tale of young vampires in love. Nineteen-year-old Tommy is a bewildered hipster recently relocated to San Francisco from Incontinence, Ind. His sarcastic redhead (and bloodsucking) girlfriend, Jody, brings him into the fold of the undead ("I wanted us to be together," she says). Tommy, understandably, has mixed feelings; vampirism has its perks (you can turn to mist, live forever and the sex is awesome), but sunlight is death and blood hunger makes you do some pretty foul things. Also, the duo is hunted by Elijah, the ancient vampire who "turned" Jody and wants her back, and a band of Safeway stock boys/amateur vampire hunters known as the Animals (with whom pre–dark side Tommy once rolled). With the assistance of their devoted minion, goth girl Abby Normal, whose hilarious diary entries form part of the narrative, Tommy and Jody evade their pursuers, feeding at night and conking out at dawn, all the while learning how vampirism complicates love.
