Secret Vampire

Teenage Poppy, petite, dynamic Poppy, has pancreatic cancer, a death sentence not even she can escape. Then her lifelong friend (and secret love) James confides that he can offer her eternal life--as a vampire. With the assistance of her devoted twin brother, Phillip, they arrange her death and passage into the Night World, "a secret society of vampires, witches, and other creatures of darkness that live among us." Since vampires are not allowed to love one another, even her eternal life is in jeopardy. Obviously, this first entry in the Night World trilogy has all the trappings of teen appeal, including love, serious illness, death--and vampires. Some package!
