Vampirates - I love this premise and wish it wasn't targeted at a middle school reading level
I love the idea of vampire pirates, that's such a fun premise. I just wish there was a more "mature" version of this series where there's actually blood and death, rather than a couple 12-year olds on an adventure. Of course, being interested in vampire pirates in the first place probably means I have a 12-year old's opinion of what's cool...
I'll admit I've never read this series and I should probably give it a chance anyway. Maybe borrow them from the library or something since I really don't need to be spending money on these. Here's an amazon link in case anyone else is interested though.
Also, I tried checking steam to see if there were any vampire pirate video games (since that'd probably scratch my itch just as well) but all I found was an upcoming game called Vampirates which is decidedly not what I'm looking for. It looks more like a social game like R.E.P.O. than vampire pirates hunting at night. Oh well, I guess I'm stuck reading a book series intended for 12-year olds.
Have any of you read this series? Does it still hold up if you aren't 12 years old but apparently seem to be 12 years old at heart?
I read the first book or two series in middle school(‽) and it was pretty good, if I recall correctly this had a pretty good sibling relationship, and the only thing stopping me from finishing it was the library didn't have the rest.
Definitely don't just dismiss books for YA though! There's no reason you can't enjoy a good book because of the target audience. I still re-read my favorites all the time, and try out new books.
