Jordan's life sucks. Her life once a broken record of boring parties, meaningless hookups, and friend's she couldn't relate to - now consists of her drinking alone in her room as her ex-boyfriend, Michael, waits for the sun to go down and begs her to let him in…to drink her blood!
________________________________________

Jordan’s life is definitely a mess. She gains notoriety among the high-school crowd as the girl who, when coked up, drunk, or high, cannot say no to anything. But now she is desperately trying to say no to her vampire ex-boyfriend as he begs her to invite him in so he can feast on her blood. Jordan doesn’t understand it; after a “suicide attempt,” Michael Green returns to Jordan’s window the night of his funeral, leaving Jordan confused, agoraphobic and fearful of the night. He didn’t want her before and now she can’t get rid of him. At times of weakness, a depressed Jordan thinks maybe vampirism would not be so bad; after all, she could escape all of her problems. High school itself is okay for Jordan; she spends her time partying with her friends: Rachel, a purple –haired girl, who constantly tries to play psychologist, and her catty, Drama Club friends who exercise their right to regurgitate. But her ex-best friend, Lisa, fresh out of rehab, stumbles upon the secret about Michael. Can Jordan gets the help she needs before she succumbs to Michael’s desires? Will Lisa convince Jordan that life is worth living?

Jordan is funny and likeable and her story is so compelling that vamp and non-vamp fiction readers will devour this book.
