College freshman Leesa Nyland has been fascinated by vampires since she was 3 years old. That's when her mom started acting weird, insisting sunlight hurt her skin because she'd been bitten by a one-fanged vampire. Fascinated doesn't mean Leesa believes, though. Any more than she believes in blue fire, people who live for centuries, or kisses that can kill. But when her beloved older brother suddenly disappears, she is forced to confront all these and more. She also has to figure out what to do about her mysterious new boyfriend. She knows Rave likes her a lot--so why won't he kiss her?
