Everything you've heard about vampires is a lie. They can't fly. No murders allowed (the community hates that). And turning into a bat? Completely ridiculous. In fact, vampire life is just a lot of blood bags and night jobs. For Louise Chao, it's also lonely since she swore off family ages ago. At least she's gone to decades of punk rock shows. And if she can join a band of her own (while keeping her situation under wraps), maybe she'll finally feel...

"There are no shortcuts to surviving your first day at a new school--you can't fix it with duct tape like you would your Chuck Taylors.
