Becoming a vampire complicates things. So does a bizarre mentor, a group of vampire hunters, and an unexpected, new attraction for his openly gay best friend, Connor. An occasional uncontrollable hunger for blood might be the least of his worries.

Life as a Teenage Vampire

“Jules said you were going to confess to Mavus. So?” She eyed him hopefully. 


Connor gasped, out of breath from sprinting. He couldn’t say it, couldn’t explain, just shook his head. 


Emery joined the group, eyes trained on Connor, but Jules and Nick were there too, and a handful of others, so whatever Emery might have said got drowned out by the bustle of the cafeteria. Connor grabbed Aurora’s hand when she tried to pull away, keeping her at his side as they moved to the front of the group to keep Emery behind them. 


At the lunch table they talked around each other, participating in conversations but never directly to one another. Connor glanced away if he ever caught Emery’s eyes on him. The thought of Emery getting him alone made the nausea worse, explaining the situation like he owed him, like he knew and pitied him because he was going to be happy with Liz again, obviously, get back together and forget whatever nonsense Connor had invented was happening between them.
