Not so much...Everything seems a lot more difficult when you're a nocturnal creature of the night, especially school. I was managing, but couldn't keep it hidden from my friends. Steph decided that we should be cool, like superheroes, and fight crime.I'm a vampire, not a hero. Living in a sleepy New England town, crime is a little harder to come by. At least it is until a serial killer moves into the area. He's got the authorities stumped, but then again, the cops don't have a teenage, blood-sucking, non-hero on their team. It doesn't take long for me to discover the world is full of monsters. I may be one of them...but will I turn out to be the hero, or the killer everyone is looking for.The Clanless Series:Senior Year BitesSummer Break BluesFreshman Year Freaks
