Vampire romance takes a snarky turn in this humorous novel, coming soon to TV screens as a Lifetime Original Movie!

Pearl is a sixteen-year-old vampire&;fond of blood, allergic to sunlight, and mostly evil&;until the night a sparkly unicorn stabs her through the heart with his horn. Oops.
Her family thinks she was attacked by a vampire hunter (because, obviously, unicorns don&;t exist), and they&;re shocked she survived. They&;re even more shocked when Pearl discovers she can now withstand the sun. But they quickly find a way to make use of her new talent. The Vampire King of New England has chosen Pearl&;s family to host his feast. If Pearl enrolls in high school, she can make lots of human friends and lure them to the King&;s feast&;as the entrées.
The only problem? Pearl&;s starting to feel the twinges of a conscience. How can she serve up her new friends&;especially the cute guy who makes her fangs ache&;to be slaughtered? Then again, she&;s definitely dead if she lets down her family. What&;s a sunlight-loving vamp to do?

Industry Reviews

"How refreshing to find a stand-alone vampire book with a real twist. . . . The story transitions easily between the vampire and human world, creating characters, settings, and situations that are quite believable and often funny while still maintaining a respectable level of darkness. Fans of vampire fiction will be pleased to find this one on the shelf."--"SLJ" "A fresh, modern, and humorous twist on the vampire novel. . . . Lively characters and a sweet romance are icing on the cake."--"Publishers Weekly" "Fierce, smart, and sarcastic, Pearl is a lively antihero who is forced to choose sides in the ultimate showdown, revealing her true loyalties. A sweet yet unusual romance completes the book's appeal."--"The Horn Book" "Pearl is, if not exactly likable, refreshingly self-aware and possessed of a sort of mad charm, and readers both vamp-crazy and not will enjoy her dry, unapologetic take on the genre that is at once pointed send-up and twisted celebration."--"Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books" "There is a bit of romance and the requisite love triangle of supernatural beasts, but Pearl is a strong female character who does not lose herself to her suitors. This book will likely appeal to young horror fans who enjoy a snarkier, smarter, distinctly less sparkly brand of vampires."--"VOYA" "Combining a sense of humor with dark appeal of supernatural romance, this book is funny, scary and thought provoking all at once. . . . Even jaded fans of the supernatural will find fun in this one.""- Kirkus Reviews July 1, 2011"
