Mel lives in New Whitby, Maine, where many vampires also live. Vampires are members of society just like humans, and, thanks to donor blood and vampire police, the two groups cohabit in an uneasy political arrangement. When Francis Duvarney, a 150 years old teen vampire shows up at her school, however, the precarious social order of her high school comes crashing down. Cathy, Mel’s best friend, immediately falls for Francis. Anna, Mel’s other best friend, is recovering from her human father running away with one of his vampire patients. And Mel, who never really liked vampires before, now positively hates them.
In this hilarious parody of Twilight and other vampire books, not all is what it seems, and underneath the banter between vampires and humans lurks a mystery and the drama of a possible change both in life status as well as friend status. If you’re not into vampires, you will still enjoy this book for the way it pokes fun at team vampire and team human!
