Lucy was diagnosed with diabetes as a child and is dependent on insulin to keep her condition in check. Lucy has always had an interest in vampires and spends her time on vampire message boards looking to talk with the mysterious person whose username is Draco. When Lucy writes a paper for school linking the origins of the vampire myth to diabetes, she quickly finds her life spiraling out of control, with her teachers and parents worried about her grip on reality. While an incredibly well written book and a great story, vampires are more of a theme than a presence. I would definitely recommend the book, but those looking for more vampire action I would recommend looking at other titles. Contains: predatory stalking and teenage drinking.
