Synopsis
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). They’re shocked she survived. They’re ever 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 enrols in high school, she can make
lots of human friends and lure them to the king’s feast—as the entrees.
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?
