Perfect pleats. Problematic appetite.
 
When nerdy senior Max Carter and his best friend Lucas spot the new girl at Graybridge Academy, they immediately decide she’s definitely a vampire. Pale, always in black, carries a parasol, and those too-green eyes that don’t look…normal.
It’s a joke, obviously. A dumb, nerdy joke.
Except… she actually is.
 
Her name is Eris, and she’s just trying to survive the hell that is private school. After years of homeschooling by her very weird (very careful) vampire uncle, she’s been shoved into the V.I.P. cover—Vanguard Scholars, totally human, very gifted—which means half a year at Graybridge and then an early jump to college. Keep a low profile. Pass her classes. And under no circumstances bite anyone or hold eye contact too long.
Then there’s Max—local honors goblin/D&D enthusiast—who won’t stop talking to her. He’s weirdly charming in a “human disaster with flashcards” way, and Eris can’t decide if she wants to sit with him at lunch or climb out the window. Lucas is 100% convinced she’s a vampire…but only in a fun, Twilight-is-real way—and Max thinks she’s playing along.
When a rival vampire starts making trouble on campus and a string of “pranks” turns ugly, Max lands squarely in the middle, forcing Eris to choose: keep pretending to be a normal, socially awkward senior…or bite back and save the boy who’s been making her laugh for the first time in years.
Will Max ever realize he was right? Will Lucas ever stop talking about his vampire conspiracy? And will Eris actually pass algebra before she accidentally violates a few school policies—with fangs?
 
Who is this book for: Those who love the quirks of YA novels, the smut of Dark Romance and the need for the characters to be 18+ Adults. Oh, this ending is more satisfying than Twilight.
