Book details
Loren Schechter - Author
This is a supernatural school adventure built around danger, divided loyalties and moral choices. Its central tension comes from humans living among vampires who may be dangerous yet can also behave ethically.
Lured with scholarships to a charter school in Idaho's Sawtooth Wilderness, four normal teens find themselves trapped in a school for vampires. Drawn from different racial and ethnic backgrounds, the scholarship kids' faith, friendship and love are tested in this fast-paced, witty adventure. Sixteen year-old Kathy finds herself on the kill list of a Shoshone vampire who teaches Ethics for Bloodsuckers. Her pal Lionel is terrorized by his music teacher, an 18th century violinist who worked as a Mafia hit man so he could play at his victims' funerals. With the entire student body thirsting for snacks, keeping the warmbloods alive presents a challenge for several quirky but ethical vampires. And when Kathy and Lionel are put on trial for murder in a vampire court, there are only three options: escape, die trying, or join the undead.
