'The perfect sinisterly magical escape' Stephanie Garber Caraval
meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer! WIN... OR DIE... Ever since a
vampire murdered her mother, Ava has been determined to get
revenge. This all-encompassing drive has given her the fuel she
needed to survive foster home after foster home. But it's been ten
years since anyone's seen a vampire, and Ava has lost hope that
she'll ever find one . . . until she stumbles across a hidden magic
show where she witnesses impossible illusions. The magicians may
not be the bloodsuckers she's hunting, but Ava is convinced
something supernatural is at play, so she sneaks backstage and
catches them in acts they can't explain. But they've been waiting
for her. The magicians reveal they're part of an ancient secret
society with true magic, and Ava has the same power in her blood
that they do. If she joins them, they promise to teach her the
skills she needs to hunt vampires and avenge her mother. But
there's a catch: if she wants to keep the power they offer, she
needs to prove she's worthy of it. And to do so, she must put on
the performance of her life in a sinister and dangerous competition
where illusion and reality blur, and the stakes are deadly.

An ALA Morris Award Finalist ! In this "equal parts heartbreaking
and joyful" (School Library Journal) debut YA novel that's The
Coldest Girl in Coldtown meets They Both Die at the End, a teen
girl takes a trip to New Orleans with her estranged best friend to
find a vampire to save her dying father. Victoria and her dad have
shared a love of the undead since the first vampire revealed his
existence on live TV. Public fear soon drove the vampires back into
hiding, yet Victoria and her father still dream about finding a
vampire together. But when her dad is diagnosed with terminal
cancer, it's clear that's not going to happen. Instead, Victoria
vows to find a vampire herself-so that she can become one and then
save her father. Armed with research, speculations, and
desperation-and helped by her estranged best friend, Henry-Victoria
travels to New Orleans in search of a miracle. There she meets
Nicholas, a mysterious young man who might give her what she
desires. But first, he needs Victoria to prove she loves life
enough to live forever. She agrees to complete a series of
challenges, from scarfing sugar-drenched beignets to singing with a
jazz band, all to show she has what it takes to be immortal. But
truly living while her father is dying feels like a betrayal.
Victoria must figure out how to experience joy and grief at once,
trusting all the while that Nicholas will hold up his end of the
bargain...because the alternative is too impossible to imagine.
