Review Detail

Going to college is a big transition for most kids. Leaving home, making new friends, even reinventing the way others see you are all part of leaving high school behind and starting fresh in college. It’s an exciting—but also scary—time.

Now, just imagine you’re a half-vampire trying to make that transition! Freshman Lydia Ross has a big secret: She isn’t fully human and needs blood to live. She makes some good new friends and even gets asked out by Jake, a football player with a big heart. But what if they discover the truth? Will she lose all the love and friendship she’s found in college?

Things get even scarier for Lydia when she isn’t the only supernatural being in town. There are others—some of whom aren’t as connected to the human world as Lydia is. The teen wrestles with issues of identity—where does she fit in, exactly? We may not be half-vampires, like Lydia. But most of us can relate to that fundamental question.
