YA
After her parents' suspicious deaths, Renée is sent to a bizarrely old-fashioned boarding school. There she's immediately drawn to reticent Dante. Slowly Renée uncovers the truth: Dante and much of the student population are Undead. Though the love-at-first-sight element seems a bit unbelievable, a plausible explanation eventually emerges; the logic governing this fresh take on the undead is well developed and consistent.
