Imagine if your brother left his stuffed bear at the laundromat and you had to go get it in the middle of the night. Now imagine you found the bear at the same time that a group of men came in with a young, bloodied up college kid drug between them. When they see you they try to convince you that the bloodied up kid is a dangerous killer - a vampire. Would you believe them? When they accuse you of being a vampire, too, what would you say to prove them wrong? What would you do?
16 year old Kerry finds herself in just that situation and is convinced the men are nuts. Trying to stay calm and rational so they don't harm her, Kerry tries to figure out a way to help the boy who identifies himself as Ethan. Once she releases him, she realizes the men were right... he is a vampire. After a startling turn of events, Kerry finds that she doesn't know who to trust and isn't so sure she will live to see the next morning.
Vivian Vande Velde keeps the story moving until the very end. I was left feeling like the story was a bit unresolved, but I think that's the best part of this book. You can decide how it ends. It's a very fast read, but it's a good one.
