He's her fallen guardian angel, she's vampire royalty, and they're in love--but can that save Miranda's soul? This graphic adaptation of the acclaimed novel by the same name is told from Zachary's perspective yet shows the inner struggle of both Miranda and Zachary to be good. Doyle's traditional graphic novel–style black-and-white illustrations ultimately add little to the story.

Smith's popular novel (Tantalize) gets a new graphic novel format and different point of view. Shapeshifter Kieren's awareness of his imminent return to the wolfpack impedes his relationship with Quincie. Disappearances surrounding Quincie's vampire-themed family restaurant, Sanguini's, make Kieren worry for Quincie's safety. Expressive panel art succeeds at conveying the high stakes for both characters.
