Even though New Whitby is known as a haven for vampires, Mel hardly ever sees any. The vampires stay in their part of town, and mostly only tourists go there. Which is why everyone is shocked when Frances shows up to school in his UV protection suit. Cathy immediately falls for his sculpted good looks, but Mel recognizes him for what he is: a crazy astronaut suit full of trouble. And she's determined to keep her best friend out of harm's way. Unfortunately Cathy is just as determined to get to know the walking history book.
Mel's sarcastic jabs at the vampires are amusing and I like the way she’s she's forced to face her prejudice and re-examine it. When she meets a human boy raised by vampires with some interesting prejudices of his own, things really start to get interesting. I'd give this to fans of paranormal novels looking for a humorous twist.
