I didn’t think anything could be worse than waking up in the morgue with a note in my hand telling me I’d go on a killing spree if I didn’t drink blood. But then I met Justin. In my ravenously hungry state, the agreement he offered seemed a simple one: I tell no one what I’ve become, and he would allow me to feed off of him.
I thought I could handle his hot and cold antics that made it seem like he wanted me but only as his dirty little vampire secret, until a chance opportunity changed everything.
The elite Blackburn Academy offered me a full-ride scholarship, if I can pass their grueling trials. With every fiber of my being, I want to be accepted and learn about the vampire lineage I’m now a part of. Justin… has other ideas. Going so far as to resort to sabotage, it seems he’ll stop at nothing to keep me hidden from the elite school and his rich friends.
Blood bond aside, he has no idea who he’s dealing with. I will complete those trials, even if it means the end of my undead existence.
This book was previously published under the title A Bite at the Cherry (Bite Me Series) Blackburn Academy: Entrance Trials.
Recommended for 15+.
