Human

American Dead #1

by Nicolina Torres

Isola Parks is not like most girls. The daughter of Irish immigrants, she lived a simple life in Mornington, Ohio during the late 1800's. Her days were spent fighting the boys in the neighborhood and chasing after the Indian boy next door. Little did she know that one day she would stop aging, and that those like her, would stop at nothing to find her.

HUMAN: After becoming the brutal vampire she never wanted to be, Isola is tamed by the new man in her life. Trouble finds Isola wherever she goes, from Woodstock to Tibet to college, but she is determined and eventually finds the love that she has been looking for. However, unless she can capture the killer who has murdered her friends, her beloved Sebastian may be his next victim.
