The Devil may wear Prada, but real fashion taste is in the blood . . .
When Kate gets offered an internship at top New York fashion mag Tasty, everyone tells her she's the luckiest girl alive. But it's not long before the office politics get to her. Her fellow interns are bitchy, her superiors are backstabbing, and she's constantly getting it in the neck from her chilly boss Lillian.
But when people start to go missing, Kate starts to realise that there's something funny going on at Tasty. Why is everyone uniformly condescending, black-clad and emaciated? Doesn't anyone sleep? How come they all have such sharp teeth? Are they . . . vampires?
Armed with a stake, a crucifix, and James the cute photo assistant, Kate sets off for a showdown - only to realise that she's more out of her depth than a homeless person in Hermes.
Starting your first job may be difficult, but working at Tasty is draining. Literally . . .

Media Reviews

As anyone who has ever burned up her credit cards to purchase Versace or D&G knows, fashion is a blood-sucking business. In the can't-put-it-down BLOOD IS THE NEW BLACK, the reigning fashionistas (think Miranda in The Devil Wears Prada) are ancient, evil, and very well-dressed. I was hooked on page one! * Julie Kenner, USA Today bestselling author of Carpe Demon *
'I absolutely loved BLOOD IS THE NEW BLACK! Smart, sassy, and crackling with suspense it's like Buffy, only better! Sink your teeth into this wickedly funny page turner!' * Johanna Edwards, US bestselling author of The Next Big Thing *
