Rachel McNeil is a girl with a lot of problems. She's only 12 and she's already considered emotionally disturbed and dangerous. Which isn't to say she doesn't have her reasons. Her school life is full of other kids who are just as violent, and her home life isn't much better. She dreams of a way to escape her current predicament and live a life where she can listen to her punk rock music and be understood. Ashley Xavier is not the birth name of the 500 year old vampire who wanders her way into a quiet Texas town on her way home from an errand from her sire, but don't call her anything else. Ashley is short tempered, blood thirsty, and all around destructive individual. But there is one thing she despises, and that's people who hurt little girls. She's made a point of not turning others to be the same thing she is, but what happens when a girl very much like her in her youth faces a similar dilemma? It's a story of motherhood, vengeance, ambiguity, growth and hard core punk rock. UPDATES ON TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS Cover by KylieTorres
