Kerry never would have expected an act of kindness to her brother would have gotten her in the middle of a planned execution. However, that is exactly what she gets when she makes a late-night trip back to the laundromat where her little brother left his favorite stuffed toy. She is shocked when a group of men bring in a boy who is only a little older than she and learns they plan to kill him at dawn. The reason they want to kill him is unbelievable – they believe he’s a vampire. They are obviously crazy to believe in vampires, aren’t they? When she helps the boy escape, she comes to find that the world is not what she thought it was. 210 pages Ages 14 and up
