Q: How does Minna develop as a character?Ī: Minna is a really important character in ‘Rules for Vampires’, and she’s absolutely at the heart of the story again in Ghosts Bite Back. They look great on the shelf together, too. Though I am biased, ‘Rules for Vampires’ and ‘Rules for Vampires: Ghosts Bite Back’ go really well together.

Q: Does ‘Ghosts Bite Back’ follow on from the first ‘Rules for Vampires’ book?Ī: It does indeed, though new readers to the series can easily start with this one if they prefer! My recommendation is to get them both. Leo must separate her body and her soul to venture to the Ghostly Realm with Minna, and return before Lady Sieglinde – her evil, powerful vampire mum – finds out she’s missing. Unfortunately though, this happens on the night of the Blood Moon Banquet, which is a VERY fancy vampire event being held at Castle Motteberg this year. Q: Congratulations on the launch of your second YA novel! Tell me about what adventures Leo and Minna get up to in ‘Ghosts Bite Back’.Ī: Thank you so much! I’m so excited for everyone to join Leo and Minna again, as the ghostly activity in the Dreadwald didn’t end with book one! In ‘Rules for Vampires: Ghosts Bite Back’, Leo finds herself summoned to the Ghostly Realm to stand trial for the death of the wicked Orphanmaster.
