Think vampires are romantic, sexy, and powerful? Think again. Vampires are dead. And unless they want to end up staked, they have to give up fanging people, admit their addiction, join a support group, and reform themselves.
Nina Harrison, fanged at fifteen and still living with her mother, hates the Reformed Vampire Support Group meetings every Tuesday night. Even if she does appreciate Dave, who was in a punk band when he was alive, nothing exciting ever happens. That is, until one of group members is mysteriously destroyed by a silver bullet. With Nina (determined to prove that vamps aren't useless or weak) and Dave (secretly in love with Nina) at the helm, the misfit vampires soon band together to track down the hunter, save a werewolf, and keep the world safe from the likes of themselves.

All goddess. Three girls are about to have a summer they will never forget.

Thrown together as roommates, at first all Seneca, Drew, and Claire can see are their differences. But fate brings them together on purpose -- for the support, guidance, and friendship they can only get from one another. Once they realize this, they also discover that what they needed most they can find with the help of a fellow goddess. Spend a summer at the spa celebrating friendship, life, and the inner goddess in us all.
