Are you a monster? I mean a real-life, fire-breathing, cat eating, disgusting monster? If so, this is the book for you. How do I know? Because, as far as I know, this is the only book actually ever written by a monster, even if that monster is only a kid (me). If you’re a monster like me, you need some help. Not help doing your math homework or picking out what to wear to school, but help not eating the math teacher and finding clothes that still cover your deformed body. You need to figure out how to be a monster trapped inside of a regular kid’s body, how to live a normal life when you’re obviously no longer normal. And you’d better figure it out quick, because the kids at school, nosy relatives, and creepy government agents in black suits are all trying to discover your secrets, and it only gets worse from there. If this all sounds a little too familiar, buy this book and get out of the bookstore before someone notices the tail sticking out of the top of your pants. That never ends well.

WHAT IF YOU COULD START OVER… “My blood ran cold at the vulturous look in his eye. My father. My rock. A beloved teacher and protector of young girls. Defender against rapist jocks, and jacket-lender. How could he be a vampire?” After a grave warning from a cloaked stranger, Ara leaves her old life to live with her father. She could never have imagined the unfortunate future that awaited her there. Paired up with preppy cheerleader, Emily, the girls spend the summer getting to know a set of bewitching twins with mysterious abilities. But all the while, dark family secrets are lying in wait, looking for the worst moment to resurface. And when they do, the one person Ara loves most will be the one to hurt her the deepest. A lover will be ripped away. A friend will leave. And her father will betray her in a way that can never be forgiven. Go back to where it all began in the gripping vampire series, Dark Secrets, and find out what would have happened if Ara’s mother had never died; if the evil witch Safia had no influence over Drake’s decisions; if she’d met Jason first. This is a companion book to the not-yet-released Dark Secrets Book 8. It can be read as a standalone series if you’ve never read Dark Secrets, and will consist of roughly three books. It can also be read before book 8 is released.
