About This Book

There's a new girl at school—and she's trying to make fangs happen—in this first Vampire's Love novel from the author of the Secret Diaries series.

 


Summer is over and it's time for James Ryder to pretend that everything is back to normal, even though his sister died just two months ago. But the school year starts out with a bloody bang: a double murder in the computer lab. Even with his girlfriend, Chelsea, and friends around him, James still feels on edge.


 


The new girl doesn't help. Rina Cargiale is gorgeous, in a mesmerizing kind of way, but she's also kind of socially awkward. Probably because she's really a two-hundred-year-old vampire. After seeing James at his sister's grave one night and following him home for a little sip of his blood, Rina becomes obsessed. She must get Chelsea out of the way. It sucks that she might have to kill her, when humiliating her would be much more satisfying. But what Rina wants might not matter, when someone from her past flies into town . . .


 

Don't miss Blood Spell, the second volume of the Vampire's Love series!

 

"I would say that Janice Harrell is probably an author you will love if L.J. Smith is a favorite of yours. Her books have that same breathless, yet, repressed vibe of sexuality, with surprisingly deep emotional arcs and some truly good scenes of horror." —Readasaurus Reviews
