Melting Snow (Book 1, Eli [Ellie] Snow Saga)

This is my first attempt at writing and would like you read, vote and comment please. I understand it might not be very good but I wrote this in 2009 and I'm still in the process of making it better.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Elizabeth (Eli (Ellie) to everyone that matters) Snows' parents die just before her sixteenth birthday she becomes a very wealthy young lady and is left with unanswered questions. The one that she needs answered the most is what did they do for work? But where can she go for answers? Nobody wants to tell her anything. She leaves her home and heads of to New York. When she gets there she meets Jimmy, the guy of her dreams but little does she know he's keeping secrets and one is that he is being paid to look out for her. His father Leo Moretti was a close friend of her father and was asked to keep her safe if anything should happen to them.

Jimmy's known about Eli since he was young and is more than willing to keep an eye on her when he sees how gorgeous she's become since he last saw her and the more time he spends with her the more he realises he's falling in love. But Jimmy isn't the only one keeping secrets she is too and the biggest is one she doesn't understand herself and that is she is slowly turning into a vampire.

How will she react when she finds out the legacy she has been born into?

So follow these two teenagers as they learn to love, hate and just survive in a world where drugs, guns and money cause more trouble than it's worth.
