Review (Kirkus, 06/01/2004): "...[U]nnervingly funny."
Review by Mark Athitakis (New York Times Book Review, 10/31/2004): "[S]muggle[s] some welcome modernity and comic irreverence into [vampire fiction]....The chief pleasure of VAMPED is in its rich imagination of the small details of modern vampire life."
