About This Book
Belle Goose is a quirky and awkward teen who moves to Switchblade, Oregon, hoping for excitement and maybe a brush with the supernatural. She quickly becomes fascinated by Edwart Mullen, a mysterious and pale computer whiz who might just be a vampire—though he seems more interested in avoiding romance than embracing it. Packed with humor, unexpected twists, and a vampire-themed prom, this story playfully spoofs the classic vampire romance genre while exploring teenage crushes and the desire for connection.
