Insatiable

Sick of hearing about vampires? So is Meena Harper.

But her boss is making her write about them anyway, even though Meena doesn't believe in them.

Not that Meena isn't familiar with the supernatural. See, Meena Harper knows how you're going to die (not that you're going to believe her. No one ever does).

But not even Meena's precognition can prepare her for what happens when she meets — then makes the mistake of falling in love with — Lucien Antonescu, a modern-day prince with a bit of a dark side...a dark side a lot of people, like an ancient society of vampire-hunters, would prefer to see him dead for.

The problem is, Lucien's already dead. Maybe that's why he's the first guy Meena's ever met that she could see herself having a future with. See, while Meena's always been able to see everyone else's future, she's never been able look into her own.

And while Lucien seems like everything Meena has ever dreamed of in a boyfriend, he might turn out to be more like a nightmare.

Now might be a good time for Meena to start learning to predict her own future...

If she even has one.

Keeping up with Meg Cabot is tricky: Under four pen names, the Princess Diaries author turns out light entertaining novels for teens and adults at a furious pace. Which is good news for her fans, who snap them up as fast as she can write them!

A Short Note from Meg...

Hi, there.

I'm not going to lie to you: It's been over two years since my last book for adult readers was published. And like a lot of you, I wondered if there was even going to be a next book.

It wasn't that I didn't have an idea for a new book. I did. It was just the craziest, biggest, most ambitious idea for a book I've ever had. No way did I want to attempt it. It was too hard! There was going to be research . . . a lot of it! This was going to lead to eating a lot of chocolate. I just wanted this idea to go away and leave me alone!

But like all the best ideas, this one wouldn't go away. And two years (and innumerable pounds of M&Ms later), Insatiable is finally finished, and I couldn't be prouder of the job HarperCollins has done of publishing it, or more excited to share it with you!

Because with Insatiable, I've created the kind of book I never thought I could, blending trend with tradition and combining the fresh, funny writing you've come to expect from a Meg Cabot novel with elements from the darkest eternal gothic romance of them all, Dracula.

Don't worry! You're not going to find any coffins (or even Dracula himself. Spoiler alert-he's dead) in this modern sequel to Bram Stoker's classic.

But you will find a secret society of demon slayers, led by a tortured hunter who's convinced the only good vampire is a dead vampire; an equally tortured-but still extremely dangerous-Prince of Darkness; and a heroine who knows exactly how you're going to die . . . unless you're a vampire, in which case, the only thing she knows for sure is that she's not going to fall in love with you . . . or is she?

I really hope you'll enjoy reading this exclusive excerpt from my new book Insatiable, which will be in stores everywhere on June 8. I couldn't be happier that this was the one idea for a book that wouldn't go away . . . and I'm hoping you will be, too!

Love,
Meg Cabot
