(Simon and Schuster) In this story of a vampire girl gone good, Pearl, a 16-year-old vampire, is stabbed in the heart by a unicorn. She survives and now can withstand the sun. Her family takes advantage of her new ability by sending her to high school so she can make friends and then lure them to the Vampire King’s feast. But Pearl has developed a conscience and doesn’t want to deliver her new friends —particularly one cute boy — to be slaughtered. Durst is an author of fantasy fiction for teenagers.
