16-year-old Lucy Szabo is undead--at least according to her own theories about vampirism. Lucy believes that the first vampires--with thier long teeth, pale skin, and uncontrollable thirst--were dying diabetics. And she should know. She's a diebetic herself.

When Lucy becomes involved with Draco--a self-procaimed "real" vampire she meets in the Transylvania Internet chat room--her world begins crashing down around her. Caught up in late-night parties and Goth culture, she begins to lose control of her grades, relationships, and health. Lucy realizes she needs to make some important choices, and fast. But it may already be too late. (copied from the book)
