From the Back Cover
Just because Mel lives in a city founded by vampires, doesn't mean she knows any of the blood-drinking undead personally. But when her best friend falls in love with one, it's up to Mel to save her from a mistake she might regret for all eternity! Add in a mysterious disappearance, a cranky vampire cop, a number of unlikely romantic entanglements, and the occasional zombie, and soon Mel is hip-deep in an adventure that is equal parts hilarious and poignant.

Terrifically funny but at the same time moving and endearing; a must read for vampire haters and lovers alike!
By Christina (Ensconced in Lit)
My sister recommended this book as we are both huge fans of Sarah Rees Brennan's The Demon Lexicon trilogy. I read the first chapter on Justine Larbalestier's blog and was hooked.
Team Human co-written by Justine Larbalestier and Sarah Rees Brennan is a very unique vampire book. It pokes fun at all the books and movies that have come before, but in an endearing way (somewhat like Enchanted the movie did for fairy tales). We are introduced to a fun protagonist, Mel, whose best friend, Cathy, falls in love with a vampire. Mel is completely against this union, but other sinister happenings come to light with their other friend Anna and her missing father. While this book pays homage to all things vampire, it is not only that-- it is a complete novel in its own right.
I laughed so hard through the first few chapters-- and I don't normally do that. Mel is such a fun character-- and yet, she is also flawed, and has to come to an understanding by the end. This makes it a good YA book. I loved the character of Kit, and that of the police vampire woman Camilla. Some of the plot lines were obvious, but I welcomed these twists and enjoyed reading every page.
Terrifically funny, moving, and enlightening YA novel. A must read for vampire lover and hater alike.

So funny and unique!
By Amanda Welling
First Impressions: It is no big secret that I can't stand the more modernized vampires, like the kind you can find in Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. I read all of the books when they were released and I wasn't impressed by the writing or the vampires. My kinds of vampires are the ones that Anne Rice came up with. I love me some hardcore, gritty, dirty monsters. I'm totally not into sparkle-like-a-fairy vampires. You get my point. Team Human is a parody of vampires, not Twilight in particular, but it might as well be. If you have ever questioned why humans are so fascinated with vampires or why a human would be attracted to a vampire, this is the book for you. Not everyone loves parodies, so I have a feeling some people will love and some people will hate this book. I personally think that parodies are hilarious if they are written by the right author. Team Human has two amazing, hilarious authors that have already proven themselves to be worthy of tackling a vampire parody. Needless to say, I had extremely high hopes for this novel.
First 50 Pages: I think you have to have a sense of humor to read this book. Right away I noticed that the writing style is humorous, sarcastic, and has some hilarious one-liners. I have no idea which author worked on what part of the story because everything flowed together so nice. I was a little bit worried, like I am with all books that have multiple authors, that the writing would seem stilted or that it wouldn't be in sync. Not only is the writing fantastic but the whole book is so incredibly creative and fresh. It is completely unique in every way even though I found some parts to be a little predictable. Who cares? This book is so, so funny! Oh, and it has a ton of drama llamas, so just be prepared for that.
Characters & Plot: The plot line and characters in Team Human are so quirky, flawed, and once again, very funny. The setting is New Whitby, a town with an overload of vampires, but not everyone who lives in New Whitby loves their vampire neighbors, especially not Mel. She hates them. Mel is basically a vampire racist, or whatever you would call it. She thinks they are disgusting and she can't understand why a human would want to be a vampire or love a vampire. When Mel's best friend, Cathy, falls in love with an extremely shifty and up-to-no-good vampire named Francis, Mel has to smack some sense into her friend before it is too late. There are tons of side plot-lines that are weaved into this story as well that make this book that much more interesting and entertaining.
Mel is a character that took some time to grow on me. Her personality is very sensible and old-school. Like I said, she is basically a vampire racist and she isn't afraid to show it. Mel can come across as being very pushy and judgmental, but she has her reasons. I think many people are either going to love or hate Mel because of her personality, but she is totally awesome to me. Mel says all of the things that I think when I'm reading some of the vampire books that are out right now.
Cathy has a one-track mind: to be with Francis no matter what the cost, even if it is her humanity. I never was able to see what Cathy saw in Francis, which is kind of the point of the whole story. He isn't anything special and he is a very underdeveloped character (I think this was done on purpose). Cathy knows fully well what she would have to deal with by being with Francis and she isn't going to let anyone, including Mel, talk her out of it. Cathy reminded me of Bella Swan, basically.
Even the vampires themselves in Team Human are very unique. They are of course, very much out of the proverbial closet, but they do have some more traditional traits. For one, sunlight will kill them, so if they want to go out during the day, they have to put on a sort of Hazmat suit so they don't die. This makes it very easy to identify who is a vampire in New Whitby. Another kind of unique attribute to this story was the introduction of zombies. When a human wants to make the transition into being a vampire, something that everyone in Team Human has the opportunity to do, they have a 10% chance of the transition going horribly wrong and becoming a zombie. Somehow the inclusion of some zombie lore didn't really surprise me even though it delighted me, because Justine co-wrote a book that featured zombies. It was just an added perk that I really loved!
Final Thoughts: Team Human was such a fun and hilarious book! It was borderline goofy, but it was so well written and I loved how both authors took on all of the vampire stereotypes that have bothered me for years. I think fans of vampires and people who hate vampires will both be able to enjoy this one, as long as they have a sliver of a sense of humor. I'm pretty sure this is a stand-alone novel, but I would love to see Justine and Sarah pair up again. They make a great team!

Team Human, But the Problem Doesn't Really Get Resolved
By Sadie Rewton
Well, another 300 page book that I disliked. I have a feeling I should avoid those for a while...
Anyway, here is the synopsis of the book!
The main character's best friend falls instantly in love with a vampire who has just transferred into their high school! But this guy is rude, smug, and is quite suspicious... Will the main character be able to save her friend from being turned into chow, and potentially lose her mind in the turning?!
What I really didn't like about the book is the best friend's love interest, Francis. He's the embodiment of jerk boyfriend, acting all sweet and happy with the best friend, but instantly turning around and acting all high and holier-than-thou towards the girl's friends. Besides the fact that they "instantly fall in twu wuv", something that has already been put down as unethical by critics of the early Disney canon, there's a high risk that the best friend will become a literal zombie if the turning is not properly executed. And she's only known this guy for a month.
What's that teaching young girls and boys who read this book? "It's perfectly fine to throw yourself away for someone who poses a potentially life-threatening situation for you"? What about all the work that we have exhausted to make sure this DOESN'T happen?! Besides the fact that it's been known in the past that the vampires whose humans have become zombies usually leave them, like, "Whatever, not my problem. Ooh, look, another shish kabob for me!"
I read other reviews where the main character's main thoughts were potentially seen as racist, if you substitute the word vampire with other races. But honestly, I didn't see it. The reason for this is because I'm pretty sure other races don't invite naive teenagers into turning into them, with dire consequences if it fails.
I understand that this is a book for teenagers, and teenagers can do stupid things, and that's something all teenagers go through. But the truth of the matter is, we teenagers are suppose to LEARN that it's wrong to do stupid, rash things. We're not suppose to be goaded on to "fall into the arms of your twu wuv" or "yeah, it's TOTALLY fine to do this, because it's TOTALLY worth it if it fails!" We do the stupid thing, we learn to not do it again; we are not praised for doing it.
And that's my main problem with the book; there are multiple stupid things that happen, and the most that really amounts to anything is the best friend lashing out at the main character for, "You're soooooo stupid because you totally hate vampires, even though you're concerned for my well-being, but I stillll hate you, you stupid prude!". Lovely. Listen up, everyone, if your best friend is trying to get you out of a relationship that she believe is toxic for you, she's stupid because it's TWUUUU WUV!
I think the only thing I liked with this book is the sub-plot about the reveal of what the principal was hiding, that was actually pretty engaging.
Maybe this book would have been better as a mystery novel rather than a romance, because I really didn't like it.
