Taste

One year ago, the world was informed that vampires exist. They're your next-door neighbour, your classmate, even the hag of a grandmother that never seems to age or die.

Emmy Willis hates vampires. She's learned their traditions, trained how to protect herself if ever cornered, and eats garlic twice daily to avoid them at all costs. The last thing she expects to do is save one from a group of OneLife wannabes.

Arden is exactly what people would claim a vampire to be like. Smart, manipulative and ready to pounce every time he gazes upon her; he can't help taking a little taste.

Yet, drinking from humans is forbidden, so why is it that newspapers are publishing headlines saying women are being drained of all their blood and left to die? Each victim is found with puncture marks on their neck and a carving on their cheek.

Emmy knows she shouldn't be drawn into the world of bloodsuckers, but when the next target is her... what's a human girl to do?
