*UPDATE APRIL 2022* This book has been revised and edited extensively, grateful thanks to @anmazonruns for all her help. Dating a vampire is never straightforward... romantic dinners a deux are out the window for a start when only one of you eats. Nineteen-year-old Maya has embarked on a full-blown love affair with Justin, a state-licensed vampire while enrolled in the Argist Academy, the organisation that works to make vampire/human integration that bit easier. Her sister's weeks away from the vaccination that will make her blood poisonous to vampires, and the social media channel she runs promoting vampire makeovers is raking in money. And then there's easy-on-the-eye Kyle, desperate to make it as an expert in mind control and keener than he'll ever admit on Maya... When Justin's incarcerated brother-last seen swearing he'll murder Maya's sister asap-goes missing, the medical establishment publishes damning information about the vaccination, and a long-vanished relative turns up, Maya and Justin's luck takes a turn for the worst. Will their relationship and the long-standing peace between vampires and human survive? Read on to find out... PLEASE NOTE - this story contains adult content. There's strong language and violence and scenes of a sexual nature.

A girl, a boy and a set of sharp canines-how do you survive in a world where humans and vampires live together? Nineteen-year-old Maya has too much on her plate. Trying to protect her younger sister. Struggling with crushes on unsuitable guys. Justin is a newly converted vampire, battling to resist the urge to kill and desperately worried about his brother, converted at the same time but AWOL ever since. If the authorities find him first, he's toast. When the two of them meet through the vampire Maya earmarks to help her with an exciting project aimed at making money, both are taken aback by the mutual attraction. First rule of vampire-human integration though...? You don't go that far. And while living in this bleak world poses its own hazards, not least because those in charge are too ready to ride rough shod over vampires and happy to accept backhanders, Maya and Justin still need to cope with the day to day stuff. Going to college, fighting with your mum, obsessing over the food you can't eat, dealing with unpopularity and online trolls.
