Jocelyn Bairen is back and with a vengence. Her addiction to fresh blood has caused her to make secret hunting trips that her family doesn't know about, otherwise Vasile would be called to inject her with the Antiserum and make her forget everything. She had been home schooled for the past year and is now allowed to go back, causing her to become even more cunning in order to satisfy her addiction. But the reappearance of her old flame Adrian calms her momentarily while the truth of Emil's intentions is revealed... Emil wants her, and he'll stop at nothing to get what he wants.

"What?! Is he part of some Transylvanian Mafia?!" I whispered frantically. This is something I would like to know before I stayed with them. "No, worse." His voice was dark with a mischievous hint. My eyes widened slightly as I leaned towards him, "What?" "He's a vampire." Adrian's voice was rough, with no sense of humor. Sixteen-year-old high school student Jocelyn loves blood; she lives for it. She's a blood addict. But that's not all that's going on in her life. Strange dreams haunt her sleep; she can read minds; and she hears voices in her head. And she discovers that J.B.-her twin sister-and their friends Sadie and Nikki all have similar powers. She learns that all of them a part of a group known as the Genetic Race. But their powers and existence are threatened by another group known as the Others, and their only hope lies in traveling to Transylvania, where they must locate a special blood-filled amulet. On this trip, with the help of the very attractive Adrian, Jocelyn will discover that the very substance she needs to survive may have become her new and very deadly addiction.
