Bleeder
Mildred “Mills” Millhatten had a good life: close-knit family, fantastic friends, decent grades and even a not-totally-annoying kid brother. You might say it was the best kind of ordinary. Nothing could have prepared her for being taken and cast into a strange, vicious world that she didn’t know existed and has little hope of understanding.
As a Bleeder – one whose lifeblood feeds the Nosferatu – her continued survival hangs ever in the balance. The creatures are keeping her alive because they believe her blood has mystical properties. Mills fears what will happen when they realize they are wrong.
If she hopes to survive and discover who she truly is, she needs an ally. She has to befriend the mysterious boy who’s been secretly visiting her cell, even though he’s destined to become a bloodthirsty monster. Because she lives in their world now, and if she doesn’t do something fast, she’s going to die in it too.

Kuebler is a genius.
I don't say that lightly. Because this might be the only book in the world that focuses on Vampires, aaand does not make me want to throw it out of my window.
This maybe the only book in existence on Nosferatu--Vampires--that I actually kind of like.
Coming from me, that's actually a huge surprise.
I stand by my earlier claim: Kuebler is the only person who could have made this work. And she has. She has made the whole story work brilliantly.
The less that can be said about this goodness, the better.
Go read this right now, seriously.

This is one of the best books I've ever read! A great love story and an interesting take on vampires. I don't usually read books more than once because I like to read new things but I definitely think this one is one I will read again in the future.
