Sydney's Vampire Diary: Sophomore & Junior Years

Imagine finding a diary from 1986 and realizing the sixteen-year-old author was the object of desire for "real" vampires who lurked in her high school. Not blood-sucking, immortal vampires...these "vampires" were predators, abusive guys, who seduced innocent girls with their studly good looks and charm. They didn't turn you into a vampire or kill you like the fictional bloodsuckers. By the time these soul-sucking vampires dumped you, broken, lost, alone, empty-you had only one wish left-that you really were dead. Sydney's Vampire Diary - Sophomore & Junior Years weaves the hot topic of vampires with the reality of teen dating violence. Teens will never meet a blood-sucking, immortal vampire but many will meet a soul-sucking predator who will emotionally or physically hurt them. Set in the medieval ages or the 1980's, a time before cell phones, computers and personal networking websites, sophomore Sydney Barrett tries to pick up the pieces from her last "vampire" relationship with the wickedly handsome Chase in time to make Varsity cheerleader. But have her "vampire" experiences damaged her so badly that she'll never find true love or happiness with luscious new hottie Heath? Or will she always crave the excitement, danger and thrill of a relationship with a vampire? www.sydneysvampirediary.com
