Blind dates can be bad, but Sarah Dearly''s date is a true contender for worst ever. His neck nibbling didn''t just leave a bruise; it turns her into a vampire - and the newest target for a pack of zealot vampire hunters.With her date now their latest victim, Sarah runs for her immortal life - straight into Thierry de Bennicoeur, a master vampire who is just a wee bit suicidal. Thierry can''t resist a damsel in distress and agrees to teach Sarah how to live the vampire life if she''ll help him end his own. But as it turns out, Sarah may be his best reason for living.

My name is Sarah Dearly, and I''ve got major problems. Last month, I was turned into a vampire by the world''s worst blind date. Then I may have, totally by accident, started a war between the mostly peaceful bloodsuckers and a bunch of sociopathic vamp hunters who have nicknamed me the Slayer of Slayers.Now I''m being used as bait to draw out the hunters'' bad-ass leader, while my gorgeous 600-year-old boyfriend Thierry seems to be blowing me off, and my sizzle-hot, fanged friend Quinn is trying to turn my self-defence lessons into make-out sessions. So you know what? I''m done. I''ve had it. There comes a time when a vamp has to just suck it up and go after what she wants. And as soon as I figure out what that is, that''s exactly what I''ll do ...

She fights. He bites.Janie Parker''s a supernatural assassin - not by choice, but what''s a girl gonna do? The only thing standing between her and decapitation at the hands of her hellish boss is a magical artifact called The Eye. To get it, all Janie has to do is find a dark, broody vampire named Michael Quinn and take it. Easy, right? Except if Quinn keeps kissing her that way, she just might lose her head ... in more ways than one.Former vampire hunter Michael Quinn is determined to become human again. If he grabs hold of The Eye and makes a wish - then boom, everything''s good with the world. But now Quinn has a sassy tagalong with a long, delectable neck and orders to stake him on sight. He just hopes his first bite won''t be Janie''s last moment on earth . . .

''My name is Sarah Dearly. Fledgling vampire and part-time bartender, at your service. Welcome to my highly disfunctional life.''Newly-vamped Sarah Dearly wants her normal life back, but fate is fighting against her. She tries to get a nice, regular job - and gets staked at the interview, only to be rescued by a masked vampire who calls himself the Red Devil. Then a wallflower-turned-witch curses her, making her a bloodthirsty, sun-allergic nightwalker - the worst vampire there is. As if all that weren''t bad enough, she can''t get married because her 600-year-old boyfriend Thierry is in a centuries-long marriage of convenience he can''t escape.As Sarah''s nightwalker tendencies make her more dangerous, even to those she loves, she''ll have to counteract that curse, unmask the increasingly intriguing Red Devil, and - oh yeah - get a commitment from her man. But if that''s what it takes to secure her happiness, Sarah is ready ... even if it means embracing her inner vamp to do it.

Sarah Dearly''s vampire life is not all B-positive cocktails. A curse made her a nightwalker, the most vicious vamp there is; the charm she wears to curb her deadly tendencies is losing its juice; and a hunter from hell is turning up the heat. Gideon Chase will kill the ones she loves most if she doesn''t obey his orders - that includes breaking up with master vampire Thierry and turning Gideon into an immortal vamp via her bite so he can escape a doom of eternal hellfire.Making things worse are Sarah''s growing feelings for Gideon, a bad boy who keeps showing a vulnerable side - but is it for real? Will Sarah''s dark side take over? Or can she cure herself of the nightwalker curse in time to stop Gideon and finally get the chance to live happily ever after with Thierry ... forever?
