Some vampires are good. Some are evil.
Some are faking it to get girls!
Bloodthirsty
Flynn Meaney
From brilliant new author Flynn Meaney comes the perfect antidote to the teen vampire craze - the wickedly smart and laugh-out-loud funny Bloodthirsty.
Sixteen-year-old Finbar Frame is tall, skinny, pale and pretty much allergic to the sun. He also seriously missed out in the gene-pool stakes to his twin brother, Luke, who got the good looks, athletic ability and pigmentation. Sadly, teenage girls don't appreciate Finbar's sensitive skin or sensitive soul, but when a move to a new school converges with a cultural trend romanticising vampires, Finbar seizes the opportunity. He'll become a vampire! Or at least fake it - to get a date.
Flynn Meaney is a published poet and writer, and an alumna of the University of Notre Dame. She was a finalist for the Ruth Lilly Poetry Fellowship and her young adult novella, Bennett Riley, appeared in Cicada Magazine in September 2007. She was a semi-finalist in Amazon's 2009 Breakthrough Novel Contest with Mouthing the Alma Mater.
Flynn says she was inspired to write Bloodthirsty by a broad love of pop culture vampires, but the final catalyst was a comment from a friend, 'Now that vampires are so hot, we can stop tanning.'
