(4) YA Living in Massachusetts in the early 1700s, Rachel falls victim to a vampire; three centuries later she walks the streets of Concord as Risika, trying to satisfy an eternal blood-lust. The novel alternates between the time periods. Risika's tale suffers from a confused plot, mundane writing, and a weak conclusion, but the story of Rachel's indoctrination into vampiricism is riveting in this novel written by a thirteen-year-old.
