Lilith Todd is rich, beautiful and fabulous. She comes from a very powerful and wealthy family, so she always gets what she wants, whether it's new shoes or the best looking guy. She is the envy of all the girls at Bathory Academy where only the most elite vampires of society are able to attend. That is, until Cally came along.
Cally Monture is powerful and pretty, but let's just say that she's a little less Prada and a little more Payless. Her day to day dilemmas include mortgage payments and subway fare. She lives with her mother and has never met her father. Her good grades and mysterious connections grant her access to Bathory Academy, but she has no desire to be a part of that snobby world. The best she can do is grin and bear it.
From day one at school, things can only be described as nightmarish and humiliating. She doesn't fit in here at all. Even though they all wear the same uniform, she knows the rest of the girls can sense that she is not like them, and they show it with their cruelty. She especially has problems with queen-bee Lilith Todd.
Cally and Lilith had met once before when a night in the park turned tragic. It nearly ended with both of them getting staked by Van Helsings, a group of vampire hunters. It is because of this chance encounter that their animosity towards each other seems to escalate with each passing hour. It's bad enough that Cally feels like she has to hide her true heritage, but when she has to deal with Lilith's bad attitude and jealousy, it makes for a pretty rough semester. Then there's the fact that Cally's old school left her playing academic catch-up with the rest of the Bathory girls, making her an even bigger target for mocking. Things can't get any worse for Cally, right? Well, not unless possibly being in love with someone who may have tried to kill you is bad. It's going to be a long year.
Vamps blends the glamour and scandal of high society with the gothic darkness of vampire legend. It's a deliciously vamp-tastic beginning to a series that is well worth keeping up with. Book two, Night Life, will be flying onto shelves in January of 2009. I can't wait to sink my teeth into it. And that's a compliment, coming from a vegetarian.
Bathory's reigning queen, Lilith Todd, is the daughter of a powerful vampire businessman, and she knows exactly what she wants from life. She wants to look beautiful for eternity and party till the sun comes up with her gorgeous boyfriend, Jules. And she doesn't want any New Blood upstarts standing in her way.
Enter Cally Monture, an unexpected threat from a trash zip code. When their first meeting leads to tragic results, Lilith is hungry for revenge.
