4----
5!!''Resisting the Incubus'' contains examples of:
6* AbortedArc: José returning to make Alejandro's life difficult. He is eventually PutOnABus since there wasn't much left to do with him, and it was replaced by Courtney's arc.
7* AlphaBitch: Heather herself. She's the most popular, beautiful girl in school, leads a group of popular girls, and is often mean to those around her.
8* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Heather mentions that her little brother always messes up her stuff.
9* BeautyIsBad:
10** Mainly Alejandro, but Heather qualifies as well.
11** Also Courtney, who's suggested to be beautiful with big dark eyes, but is jealous of Heather's popularity and doesn't hide her feelings.
12* BelligerentSexualTension: Heather's relationship with Alejandro starts off this way, and carries on throughout.
13* BerserkButton: Insulting Heather within Alejandro's earshot is not a good idea, as Courtney discovers.
14* BigBrotherBully: Alejandro had one when he was human, who was better than him at everything. [[spoiler: It later turns out that he is also a vampire -- turned by the same vampire that transformed Alejandro, as is later discovered -- and visits frequently while he's staying in town.]]
15* BreakingAndBloodsucking: Alejandro's approach to getting into a potential victim's house.
16* TheCasanova: Alejandro routinely has sex with the girls he feeds on. He claims that giving girls pleasure is 'payment' for taking their blood, but his true motives are selfish: he enjoys it, and it eliminates the problem of them waking up while he's in the process of feeding.
17* CoolKidAndLoserFriendship: Lindsay's best friend is a dorky girl called Beth. Despite being mentioned as being allowed to hang around with the populars, she is never actually seen with them.
18* CursedWithAwesome: Heather's initial reaction to [[spoiler: becoming a vampire]]. She eventually admits that there are benefits.
19* DaywalkingVampire: The sun doesn't affect vampires at all. When [[spoiler: Heather]] becomes a vampire, she chooses not to be nocturnal like most vampires.
20* DirtyMindReading: Something Heather experiences when she finally finds out that she can get into Alejandro's mind, and sees some of the dreams he's had about her.
21* DreamWalker: A subversion. Alejandro can't enter Heather's dreams, but their bond means that if one is asleep and the other is awake, they can communicate through each other's dreams.
22* DreamingTheTruth: Heather says she's not interested in Alejandro. If that's true, why does she keep having both romantic and erotic dreams about him? It is stated outright that none of them even come close to nightmares.
23* DumbBlonde: Lindsay, to the point where Heather and Dakota can openly talk about vampire lore, relate it back to Heather and she still doesn't realize that they're talking about real life.
24* EternalLove: The way Alejandro views his relationship with Heather. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, Heather still feels she needs time to come to terms with her immortality after finishing school and disappears for a few years, but her feelings eventually come full circle and they're back together by the end.]]
25* EvenEvilHasStandards:
26** Alejandro has no qualms about the way he feeds, but he never feeds any more than he has to in order to survive, and while he won't give up on [[spoiler: making Heather a vampire, he looks after her when his repeated feedings on her make her ill.]]
27** Heather is generally mean and cruel to everyone she meets, but she draws the line at hurting her best friend [[spoiler: and when she finds out Courtney has left school due to being pregnant, she tells Dakota and Lindsay, but tells them to keep it secret.]]
28* TheGhost: Gwen is repeatedly mentioned by various characters, but never actually appears.
29* GiveGeeksAChance: Dakota, one of the prettiest and most popular girls in school, confides in Heather that she has a crush on gamer geek Sam.
30* GratuitousSpanish: Alejandro states that Spanish is his first language, although he is fluent in English, to the point that he barely has any accent. However, he likes to slip Spanish words into his speech. At one point, he tells Heather he does it "because most women love it".
31* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold:
32** Dakota may be a shallow fame-seeker, but she is a good friend to Heather throughout the story.
33** Lindsay never returns Heather's meanness in kind and remains unwaveringly supportive.
34** Bridgette immediately helps Courtney when asked, despite their friendship ending years before.
35* ILoveYouVampireSon: The romantic version of this trope, since [[spoiler: Alejandro]] chooses to turn [[spoiler: Heather]] because he believes they can only be together if they're both vampires.
36* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: Alejandro's attraction to Heather begins this way. [[spoiler: He does attempt to change things and make her compliant, but when it works, he discovers that VictoryIsBoring and tells Heather of his intentions to conquer her in order to make her turn back to the girl he fell for.]]
37* KissOfTheVampire: Alejandro appears to think his seduction of the girls he feeds on are this trope, as all of them seem to enjoy the pleasure leading up to it.
38* LoveMakesYouEvil: Alejandro won't stop feeding from Heather, no matter how angry she gets. He does it because he wants them to be together, but is convinced it can't happen unless they're both vampires.
39* MindlinkMates: Alejandro tries to invoke this trope by marking Heather, which causes them to have some telepathy and be able to read each other's minds at certain times. Heather only learns the effects after a while, and only later learns how to use the link.
40* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Vampires are not affected in any way by the sun, they only have to feed once a week, and repeated feeding has strange effects on a victim, due to the effects slowing down the regeneration of blood cells.
41* Really700YearsOld: Alejandro is 80 years old at the start, but he appears to be seventeen.
42* RomanticVampireBoy: Alejandro may only be out for himself, but he has the manner of a gentleman.
43* VampireBitesSuck: Subverted as the vampire actually has no control over how the bite affects their victim. Their symptoms worsen the more times they are fed on within a certain amount of time. The progression shows with Heather feeling weaker than usual the first three times, unable to concentrate the fourth, showing flu-like symptoms the fifth and sixth, having raised emotional triggers the seventh, significantly slower reflexes the eighth and one day or paralysis the ninth, while the tenth feeding finishes their transformation into vampire.
44* VampireHickey: Everyone bitten by a vampire has these. They usually fade within a week. Heather's original bite mark has the most attention, but Courtney mentions having those marks and not knowing where they came from, and Dakota mentions in passing that Katie had bite marks at one point.
45* VampiresAreSexGods: Somewhat subverted in that Alejandro, while clearly having taken the virginity of half the girls in the high school, could probably have had the same effect when he was human.
46* VampiresHateGarlic: Brought up when Dakota jokingly asks if being at a sleepover with a vampire requires garlic. Heather replies that it isn't dangerous to vampires, but just the thought of it is repugnant.
47* YouAreWhatYouHate: Heather hates it when Alejandro manipulates her or uses compulsion on her. It is stated later on that she is just as much of a master manipulator.
