“Electrifying.
Chilling. Enthralling. Amazing.” – L.J. Smith, author of The
Vampire Diaries
In
this new edition of the acclaimed series, Goth teens and rock
musicians battle ruthless vampires – and the perils of the
heart.
The
mean streets of Chicago belong to The Wolf House – a pack of
vampires like
Blake,
who loves toying with hunters;
Tim,
who’s lost several centuries of his memory;
Cora,
who has an unquenchable thirst for cruelty.
Facing
off against them are a collection of artists, punk rockers, and
misfit high schoolers – smart, talented, angry … and
doomed:
Bette
and Rose,
best friends lured into the vampires’ world;
Lily
and Will,
vampire hunters, musicians, and all-around human disasters;
Sofie
and Jay,
who barely survived Cora’s brutality and are now Blake’s
pawns.
In
the world of the undead, love is a curse and friendship a weapon.
When the sun goes down, the games begin … and innocence dies.
1.
Origins and Overtures:
At first, Bette and Jay are more fascinated than frightened by the
secret underworld of vampires … but they’re about to find out just
how wrong they are.
2.
Roads and Crosses:
When death creeps in closer than ever, it destroys the equilibrium
Lily and Will shared. Can the new people they’re becoming hope to
regain what’s been lost?
3.
Fair Game:
Vampires obsessively stalk those they love and gleefully manipulate
those they oppose. As tensions between humans and vampires begin to
boil over, Bette and Tim wonder how much of a person’s identity can
survive those new instincts.
4.
Fire Proof Heart:
Having an eating disorder was miserable enough as a human. Now that
Ash is a vampire, it’s a living hell. She’s the latest victim of
Cora’s evil games against Blake, but now Blake – capricious,
charming, endlessly bloodthirsty – is the only one who can save
her.
5.
Last Girl:
In the horror movies Michelle watches with her friends, the last girl
is the one who kills the monster and gets to live, even when everyone
else is dead. It’s not a role Michelle wants, but that’s not her
choice to make. And it seems as if Alexander’s only reward for
tenaciously surviving all this time is to lose everything over and
over again. When all’s said and done, is being the last one standing
a blessing or a curse?
“Rock'n'roll,
sex, tattoos, feminism, bisexuality, and a sense of what teens really
are about.” -The Age
If you’ve ever read any of the series, it’d be great if you could leave a rating at the page! It makes a huge difference. If you don’t like writing reviews, all you need to say is ‘I liked it’ and a rating. These really affect an author’s visibility!
