Cal Thompson is a carrier of the parasite that creates vampires. He was infected against his will and is now a hunter to hunt down others who have been infected and need help. After he chases down all of the people he inadvertently infected he goes searching for the one who forced this life upon him. Through this process he meets Lace, a girl who lives in the same apartment building of the girl he is looking for, and discovers she has noticed that something is not right in her building.
As Cal continues looking for clues as to what is really going on in the vampire community, he finds that Lace is difficult to get rid of and demands he tell her the truth about what he does for a living. Instead of fleeing like most people would, Lace tries to help him find the mysterious Morgan who began Cal’s journey and what she finds surprises them both.
This vampire story focuses more on the science of vampirism and other parasites that exist in our world. It lacks some of the excitement and mystery of this world found in other series such as Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight or Melissa De La Cruz’s Blue Bloods. It does provide a unique take on vampires, but students won’t find it as interesting as Westerfeld’s Uglies series. All in all, a little slow moving and cautious about a popular topic in young adult lit. right now.
