Sydney's Vampire Diary: Senior Year

Imagine finding a diary from 1987 and realizing the seventeen-year-old author was the object of desire for "real" vampires who lurked in her high school. Not blood-sucking, immortal vampires...these ?vampires? were predators, abusive guys, who seduced innocent girls with their studly good looks and charm. They didn?t turn you into a vampire or kill you like the fictional bloodsuckers. By the time these soul-sucking vampires dumped you, broken, lost, alone, empty?you had only one wish left?that you really were dead. High school senior Sydney Barrett has just endured a vicious attack from a ?vampire? named Alec. Sydney believes that this assault has turned her into a ?vampire.? Now that she is Varsity Head Cheerleader and one of the most popular girls in her school, will Sydney use her newfound vampirisms on the adorable sweet guy Josh or will she finally find true love? How does the powerful ?vampire? Knox Duke fit into her new life? And why can?t she get over hottie Heath? Sydney's Vampire Diary - Senior Year weaves the hot topic of vampires with the reality of teen dating violence. Teens will never meet a blood-sucking, immortal vampire but they may meet a soul-sucking predator who will emotionally or physically hurt them. As seen on GOOD MORNING TEXAS, each book contains a Readers Guide to help teens and parents start a dialogue about teen dating violence, as well as teen dating violence facts, information and encouragement for victims to get help.
