Mel lives in a town shared by vampires and humans, and when a vampire
enrolls at her high school, Mel’s best friend Cathy falls for the vampire,
Francis. Mel does everything she
can to protect Cathy from Francis,
but when Francis asks Cathy to become a vampire, Mel has to kick up her
efforts. When she follows
Cathy to Francis’ house to protect Cathy, she meets a boy named Kit who has
been raised by Francis and his family of vampires. Everything Mel has believed about vampires is challenged and
she has to battle some of her earlier prejudices so that she doesn’t lose both
Kit and Cathy. Another subplot to
this book involves Mel’s other friend, Anna, whose doctor father has left his
family for a vampire client that he was counseling. Anna knows that her mother is hiding something about his
disappearance, but it takes Mel and Kit’s investigating to figure out the mystery.
This story is interesting with a good plot. The minor characters are enjoyable, but
the world created didn’t feel very believable.
