Description
Morning McCobb is your average vampire except he drinks soy blood, thinks staking should be a hate crime, and dreams of marching in a Vampire Pride Parade. When he becomes the first vampire to publicly reveal himself to humans, he sets out to prove that not all bloodsuckers are monsters. His mission to show the world that vampires can live peacefully using blood substitutes like Blood Lite puts him directly in the spotlight, but being out in the open means facing skeptics, danger, and anyone who thinks vampires don't belong in daylight.
Quick Summary
If you're looking for a vampire book that doesn't take itself too seriously, this one's for you. Morning is a teenage vampire who's tired of hiding and decides the best way to prove vampires can be trustworthy is to become a superhero complete with a cape and a secret identity he plans to reveal to the whole world. The story mixes genuinely funny moments with some surprisingly sweet scenes about fitting in and standing out at the same time, and it's got enough action to keep things moving even when the plot gets a little complicated. It's a great pick for teens who like humor-heavy books but also want something with a little more depth, and it works especially well for reluctant readers who might be intimidated by thicker novels. Parents will appreciate that the scary parts are pretty mild and the overall message about accepting people who are different comes through loud and clear without being preachy. Fans of "The Last Zombie" series or books like "Vampire Academy" that balance humor and supernatural adventure will probably love this one too.
