With her maker on the run, Cherry has enough on her mind even before her newly turned boyfriend, Alex, demands they meet each other's parents. Constantine, her ex-boyfriend and now member of the vampire council, is suspiciously quick to allow this breach of vampire law, and Cherry soon finds out there's more she doesn't know about her family's past.

And it's threatening her present and her future.

Alex is changing, AdIsa is dead but not as gone as she should be, and feelings forced aside are reconsidered. Back in her hometown, and faced with an overabundance of new...

If Constantine is to be believed--which Alex insists he isn't--Cherry can become human again. According to her ex, the prophecy that holds the cure calls for certain things she may not be ready for, though, and his suggestion for getting over a pesky clause complicates things further.

But Cherry won't be dissuaded.

She has lost her career, her life, and both the men she's loved, because others made her choices for her.

It's time for that to stop.

Reluctant vampire Cherry Stem tries to unwrap and survive the mystery behind her turning, while juggling hot mortal and immortal men, prophecies, improbable friendships, and bad hair days.

And her unlife isn't the only...
