Ok, so just looking at the cover picture, guess who is the real vampire? Yep, the convenience store clerk. Dave Miller is finding that un-life is pretty crappy. Terrible job working for his creator and Master. No money. Not much in the way of cool powers since he's trying to stay vegan by not attacking humans to feed. And no girl. The best he's got is fantasizing about one of the cute goth girls who stops off at his store. But then a frequently late co-worker leaves him with no choice but to actually talk to the girl so he can get a ride and make it home before sunrise. And it looks like he's even got a chance at getting her to like him. Even if she buys into the whole "Princes of the Night" romantic vampire bull-shit. But Dave can work around that. Of course everything becomes much more complicated when he has to compete for her against his vampire "brother" sociopathic, spoiled rich kid surfer Wes...

A prefect read for anyone with a shelf full of Anne Rice or who's spent a night running around with their arms crossed over their chest to show that they're invisible...
