My father always said fear was a weakness. Well, thats easy to say when you dont have to worry about vampire slayers.

But now Nathan has become possessed and has slaughtered an innocent human. Its down to me to find Nathan before the Voluntary Vampire Extinction Movement does, because theyre just waiting for an excuse to terminate him and anyone foolish enough to help him. But it gets worse: Nathans been possessed by one of the most powerful and wicked vampires alive the Soul Eater. And who knows what vile plan hes concocted? With the Soul Eater and my possessed sire on the loose, I have a lot to fear. Including being killed. Again. Love Sookie Stackhouse and Bella Swan? Its time to meet newly turned vampire Carrie Ames.

The eerie community affects Graf in ways he never expected and he soon finds himself going against his very nature to protect town outcast Jessa from a sinister attack.

That is, if he can keep his lethal urges and deadly desires under control.

Love Sookie Stackhouse and Bella Swan? Its time to meet newly turned-vampire Carrie Ames.I have reached my breaking point. And now I will not, cannot be stopped. With the Soul Eater on the verge of god status, its time for me to take a final stand, even if it means losing everything I love. Even if it means losing my life. Again. Ive got plenty of power on my side, and some I didnt know I could count on in the first place. But its nothing compared to the army of the undead the Soul Eater is building up. And time is running out. They say that good always triumphs over evil. I hope thats true. Because the odds arent in our favour, and the fate of the world is in our hands.

I am no coward. I want to make that perfectly clear. But after my life turned into a horror movie, I take fear a lot more seriously now. I finally became Dr Carrie Ames just eight months ago. Then I was attacked in the hospital morgue by a vampire. Now Im a vampire and it turns out I have a blood tie to the monster who sired me. And of course hes one of the most evil vampires on earth. With my sire hell-bent on turning me into a soulless killer and his sworn enemy set to exterminate me, things couldnt get much worse except Im attracted to them both. Drinking blood, living as an immortal demon and being a pawn between two warring vampire factions isnt exactly how Id imagined my future. But, as my father used to say, the only way to conquer fear is to face it. So thats what Ill do. Fangs bared. Love Sookie Stackhouse and Bella Swan? Its time to meet newly turned vampire Carrie Ames.

Now Im locked in a battle for the existence of the entire human race and the cards are definitely stacked against me. The Voluntary Vampire Extinction Movement headquarters are destroyed, and their pet horror, the Oracle, is on the loose. Shell stop at nothing to turn the world into a vampires paradise, even if it means helping the Soul Eater become a god and harnessing his power for her own evil ends. An ancient vampire, a blood-sucking near deity and oh, yeah, my presently human former sire Cyrus thrown into the mix. I say bring it on. May the best monster win.
