Raven is spending her summer in bliss. She and her vampire boyfriend Alexander are alone in his mansion, cuddling in his coffin, spreading black rose petals aplenty. Love is in the air, and Raven can see no sun on her favorite cloudy horizon. But fall comes, and with it, Alexander’s parents. While Raven longs to be part of the family permanently, the heads of this dark household may have other plans.
When the mysterious note arrives in Alexander’s mailbox, both he and Raven know change is coming. Raven is also dreading the return to school and junior year. She is being asked about a future career, when all she wants is the immortal bite from Alexander and to spend the rest of her life keeping him company while he paints. One of her first assignments is to pair up with the dreaded preppie Trevor Mitchell and interview each other about what they really want. She has always wanted to be a vampire, but what if she had a mortal future? Best friend Becky helps her come up with an alternative idea for an alternative girl.
