About This Book

What if the boy you think is your soulmate was actually a vampire with a strange craving—not for brains, but for tater tots? Imagine sneaking through snowball fights and mysterious moments, all while trying to figure out how to become a vampire's eternal partner. But what if this vampire isn’t interested in girls at all?

Quick Assessment

It follows Belle Goose, a quirky girl who believes her classmate Edwart is a vampire and her soulmate, despite his apparent disinterest in girls. The book contains mild fantasy violence and themes of young love and identity, suitable for readers aged 9-12.
