YA
Forever-fifteen-year-old Nina attends a support group for vampires committed to not "fanging" humans. A member of the group strays from its rules, getting himself staked and endangering them all. Jinks draws her characters and their unique challenges in great detail; there's also plenty of blood. Equal parts problem novel, comedy, and murder-mystery, this alternative vampire story is for outsiders of all kinds.
