Sweetblood

by Pete Hautman

Summary

Lucy Szabo thinks she knows where the myth of vampires came from. She’s sure that that the first vampires ever were dying diabetics. And she should know. She’s diabetic herself. When she gets involved with Draco, a self-proclaimed ‘real’ vampire she meets in a Transylvania chat room, her world starts to crash down around her. Soon, her whole life–grades, relationships and health–are spiralling dangerously out of control. Lucy needs to make some important choices to take back control of her life–but is it already too late?
