The author of Bleeding Hearts delivers a red-hot adventure in the young adult series featuring ';vampires with bite and girls who bite back' (Kelley Armstrong, #1 New York Timesbestselling author). Nothing about Solange Drake is normal. She's a newly crowned vampire princess, after all. But she's also having trouble with her bloodchangetoo much trouble.

Which is probably why she just tried to eat her boyfriend's face.

The couple has survived treachery, vendettas, and bounties, but they might not be able to survive each other. Nicholas Drake is starting to think that Solange, his little sister, is turning into a monster.

That doesn't bode well for any of them, including his human girlfriend, Lucy, Solange's best friend. Because she'd rather kiss vampires than kill them, Lucy is already having trouble fitting in at Helios-Ra Academy.

To make matters worse, dangerous new hunters have appeared on the scene... ones who live and die by the motto Better dead than undead. Now it's up to Nicholas to protect Lucy from Solange and Solange from herself, without having to choose between love and blood...
