Bite Me! By Melissa Francis (Harper Teen, 2009)

Teenage vampire AJ Ashe is having the worst year ever. Her boyfriend is now her stepbrother. She may have accidentally turned her rebound hookup into a vampire. Someone’s framing her for everything from cheating on tests to getting a little too close to a teacher, and her two best friends are feuding with one another. Oh, and her long-out-of-the-picture father was apparently one of the Bad Sort of vampires. Can AJ unravel this mess and figure out what her role in all of this is, or is she a pawn in something large and sinister? Though convoluted and resembling a soap opera (or sitcom), there’s an undeniable sense of quirky attitude and fun present all the same. Unfortunately, a lot of the questions raised here will have to wait for the inevitable sequel for their answers.
