The Vampirists
by R. G. Nelson
Living secretly on the edges of society, targeting the populace, evading the authorities--we could be talking about terrorists. Or vampires. Or in this case, both.
Enter Adam.
Adam is a regular guy. Sure, he is also super smart, but when his mother's unsolved murder caused his father to fall apart, Adam was forced to drop out of college. Now he spends his time taking care of his dad, working in a dead-end job at copy world, and hanging out with his friend Franklin, who drags him to meetings for a rising subversive organization known simply at the Movement.
Enter Vera,
Vera is an alluring girl who burgeoning relationship with Adam seems almost too good to be true--and maybe it is--for this mysterious girl of his dreams leads him ever downward into the nightmarish world of the Movement's bloody underground revolution. As Adam finds himself being pushed to do things that increasingly challenge his morality, he realizes that there's not always the option to only half-way be in an organization like this--it sucks you in deeper. While struggling to figure out how to manage events on his own terms, dangerous enemies begin to emerge that threaten not only him, but all of humankind. And unfortunately, Adam discovers that Vera may not be the seemingly harmless angel with whom he fell in love.
Can Adam's relationship with Vera survive everything that his new existence has in store?
Can HE survive?
