First Bite (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781737128120)

I have a confession to make: I'm a vampire. Or, to be completely honest, I'm half-vampire and half...no one knows and there lies my problem. You see, to be a vampire, or a werewolf, or any other of the supernatural creatures humans call Immortals is easy. There are schools, jobs, communities, but to be a half-blood, to be a hybrid, leaves someone out in the cold. There are rules to follow as a pureblood, regulations to help deal with humans. But if our blood is tainted, we are sent away, to the furthest outskirts our families can find. There, we are left to become whatever monsters we were born to be.

Scarlett Wharton isn't an average vampire. She hates the sight of blood, let alone the taste of it. But her senior year at Hybrid High, a school for Immortals with similarly eclectic tastes and urges, sees her having to learn just what it is to be half vampire and half...no one really knows.

When the school is attacked by creatures lost to myth, Scarlett finds herself having to face her own uncertain past. With the threat to their community growing, she will need to rely on her friends and even her foes to survive. And as the darkness draws closer, she'll have to confront her own fears and desires. In the end, her gift just might be the only thing that can save them all.
