Book Description:
Emery Mavus just wants to survive his senior year of high school.

An occasional uncontrollable hunger for blood might be the least of his worries.
Excerpt:
âMr. Leonardââ
âHush, Emery.â
I made to push him away, but in that same moment, the fear that had crept under my skin feeling like it might burst out my pores, lessened. Everything about Mr. Leonard seemed different. He didnât move. His expression didnât change. It was the air around him, the atoms buzzing, something intangible that shifted. His eyes were mesmerizing, and as I returned his stare, all the anxiety in my stomach washed away. I felt warm, but not uncomfortably so, more like I was snuggling up for an afternoon nap.
My hand dropped.
âI am so sorry, Emery. I have no other choice.â
I didnât see him move. He was there, standing in front of me, and then he wasnât. Instead, the curve of his shoulder was in front of my face, and a sharp pain in my neck tore the air from my lungs, like heâd struck me with a knife or a needle. But the pain faded almost instantly, and the tight pressure felt almost soothing.
I sagged against the wall, seeing only the dark blue of Mr. Leonardâs shoulder, the hazy background of the sofa and fireplace fading in color until there was nothing but calming darkness.
