Four normal teens are conned into scholarships to a charter school for vampires. Can they escape before being bled and dead? Or sucked into the school's chapter of the Satanic Legion? Sixteen year-old Kathy is on the kill list of a Shoshone vampire who teaches Ethics for Bloodsuckers. Her pal Lionel is terrorized by his music teacher, an 18th century violinist who worked as a Mafia hit man so he could play at his victims' funerals. When Kathy's boyfriend has his heart broken by a sharpened pool cue, she and Lionel are put on trial for murder, in a vampire court, with a kidnapped gymnastics team as the jury. All the kids face the same three choices: escape, die trying, or join the undead. Blue Ink Review called this novel "a wild ride, and the plot twists alternate with big laughs."

A fabled wall, marking the territory of the werewolves and adorned with the severed skull of a once great alpha, stands between Natalya and her prey. When she finds the body of Anesa, her beloved mentor, she is determined to hunt down the vampire responsible. Crossing the border into Claw Haven to follow him is sacrilege though, and the undead werewolves whose skeletal bodies wane and wax with the moon are more terrifying than the vampire she seeks. But there she meets Voren, a werewolf who is a living contradiction to everything she has been led to believe. Her journey into the lives of the pack entwines her and Voren's fates with that of a master vampire's: Arkadith. Defeating him may lift Voren's curse and bring peace to Valwood and Claw Haven, but Arkadith is determined to bring an end to this vampire huntress as well...
