YA
Creating an original vampire story is a challenge, but these authors team up successfully with a new twist that retains the essential elements--romance, suspense, and danger--as Mel investigates the suspicious disappearance of her best friend's father. Stamped with Mel's distinct brand of sarcastic humor, this book is fearsome and funny, a fresh entry in the popular genre.
