But just when she thinks she's safe, she is brutally taken from everything she knows and loves and thrust into a world of dark fantasy she could have never imagined. Forced to compete for the love of the vampire prince himself, Nicholai Romano, Audrina must find a way to escape this world before she irreversibly becomes apart of it. But what happens when Audrina actually starts to have feelings for this cruel prince? Enjoy the heavy metal shackled to her wrist and the rough kisses that could literally kill her? Even worse...will she go against Girl Code 101 and compete with her best friend for the love one wants and one detests? Full of twists and turns, Forever Dead is filled with love, hate, murder, sex and everything else in between, if there is anything. But the real question is, do all stories have a happy ending, because in this world, being dead doesn't necessarily mean forever...
