Or at least that's what Emma thought up until meeting Bobby-a boy she never expected to meet, let alone fall for. But you know what they say-the heart wants what it wants, and sometimes that involves challenging everything you thought you knew about the world, especially when Emma believes that her world should be golden. She's got goals-Grammy winning kind of goals, that don't involve the kind of complications Bobby brings. And falling for Bobby was never part of the plan. Emma's weekends at her cousins' neighborhood was supposed to be carefree and simple. Not lying to sneak off elsewhere. What starts as something unexpected quickly becomes something she can't ignore... even when the secret slips. Because when feelings get involved, so do opinions, expectations, and the people who aren't afraid to make theirs known. Suddenly, growing up isn't as simple as it seems... especially when you're fifteen. « 𝑰 𝒔𝒏𝒖𝒄𝒌 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒓 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒎𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒆.

Up until she turned 15, Emma's life was ordinary. Living in Los Angeles, she had a few friends, and loved learning history. She had a fascination with magic growing up, but after elementary, she moved on from the foolish idea, learning the hard way that magic isn't real and that it's only a lie Hollywood had fed her. But her whole perspective shifted again after the passing of her grandpa. She discovered that he had kept a secret from his whole family-that he once was a warlock. He had given up that life when he moved to L.A. in the 1970s, but Emma and her cousin Carolina are determined to learn every trick in the spell book he left behind. Fast forward to a year later, Emma's life takes a new turn. During junior year, a mysterious new student from San Bernardino catches her eye. He's mysterious, intriguing, and mostly keeps to himself, but why? It's what she wonders every day when they cross paths. Who in Glendale would want to be so secretive, anyway? Bobby Staten-that's who. Due to Bobby's classic leather jacket and dark aesthetic, Emma and her friends constantly joke that maybe he's a vampire and that's the secret he's hiding. It's no longer funny when a series of gruesome killings occur at Verdugo High, described by local officers as a bloody mark found on the necks of the victims. Strangely, this same pattern had appeared earlier in spring at a San Bernardino High School. Coincidence? Rebecca, Emma's other cousin, thinks not. Rebecca quickly suspects a connection and begins investigating Bobby's past and persona. As Emma befriends him, she struggles to believe that someone like Bobby could be capable of crimes so vicious. Rebecca reminds her that one of the only ways to permanently kill a vampire is with a stake through the heart-in much more poetic terms, heart right through Verdugo.
