What this book is about
Risika was a human girl until a vampire turned her against her will; three hundred years later, she's one of the most powerful of her kind — and still hunting the one who destroyed her life. Written when Amelia Atwater-Rhodes was thirteen, this debut is darker and more atmospheric than typical YA vampire fiction, with a gothic voice unusual for its author's age and year.
