Deadly Expectations
Being a teen vampire sucks.
Both Tony and Dax lead very different lives.
Tony is the black sheep of his family. He’s too rebellious to be a bodyguard, has enough psychic power to fill a thimble and he just got his family kicked out of California.
Dax is the most popular guy in school and the perfect prince except that he’s as fake as American cheese, distant from his family and his sanity is held together with scotch tape.
Both boys are approaching their seventeenth birthdays, the day they accept immortality, and both boys have reservations.
Namely, being immortal vampires and disappointments to their families for eternity might not actually be attractive.
They may not have much in common, they may annoy each other to death, but maybe the only way through this, is together.
