Synopsis

There are places in the world where darkness rules, where it's unwise to walk. But the lake had been quiet for years...She never heard them coming. Of course you don't, when they're vampires. They took her clothes and sneakers. They dressed her in a long red gown. And they shackled her to the wall of an abandoned mansion - within easy reach of her fellow prisoner. She knows he is a vampire. She knows that she's to be his dinner, and that when he is finished with her, she will be dead. Yet when dawn breaks, she is still alive. And now he needs her to help him survive the day...

Media Reviews
It's an astonishing piece of work. A gripping, funny, page-turning pretty much perfect work of magical literature that exists more or less at the unlikely crossroads of CHOCOLAT, INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE, MISERY and the tale of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST * Neil Gaiman *
Takes away everything we have always known about the menacing eroticism of pale men with sharp teeth, and throws it up into the air....This is a book about growing up and making peace with the world around you, and it is excellent * TIME OUT *
Great to see a vampire novel which owes nothing to Bram Stoker and a magic novel that owes nothing to Lord of the Rings. Very appealing characters, an original plot line and a much-needed infusion of humour into a usually humourless genre. Move over Clive Barker and Anne Rice. Robin McKinley is set to blow them both out of the water * JOANNE HARRIS *
Buffyesque baker Rae 'Sunshine' Seddon meets Count Dracula's hunky Byronic cousin in Newbery Award winner McKinley's first adult-and-then-some romp * PUBLISHERS WEEKLY *
