Garlic Is For Vampires (#Wattys2016)

Bree Hawk is just your average teen living in NYC. She's on her own-working her way through summer before she goes to college, hoping to find her place in the world. But when her detective friend, Brendon Stark, embarks on a dangerous case involving gruesome murders, she's sucked right into the blood and serial killers. She meets Dylan Shaw-charming, handsome-and a vampire.
When Bree discovers she's got more than she bargained for, she's got to fight to stay away from the danger. Dylan wants her for a dark purpose that will give him and his vampire kindred the ultimate power to survive in daylight so they can continue their terror even when the sun is up. Bree hates the idea of being the cure to their cancer, so she decides to pick up a few stakes to fight off the fangs.

And then she learns that there is more mystery to her story. And it might be deadly and important. With Brendon at her side, Bree might actually be able to defeat Dracula's children-if she doesn't become a vampire first.
