Author Beth Fantaskey injects a little humor into the vampire romance genre with this critically acclaimed debut novel. High school senior Jessica Packwood is a down-to-earth mathlete who’s not sure what her future holds. What she definitely doesn’t see coming is foreign exchange student-and vampire-Lucius Vladescu showing up at her door.
