Book Synopsis

A skateboarding vampire falls for a human artist as they combine their talents to create a skating brand in this lightly paranormal coming-of-age young adult graphic novel romance for fans of Squad by Maggie Tokuda-Hall and The Girl from the Sea.

Pepper Mint might be born a vampire, but she's pretty much your average teenager who loves skateboarding and her dog. What she doesn't love is her mother's continuous efforts to find her a vampire bride so that she can become fully immortal. Then Pepper meets Ana--she's a charming art student, a part-time waitress...and interested in Pepper.

Ana's presence changes everything, especially when she uses Pepper for the inspiration behind her art. But the two girls' instant chemistry seems to provide the perfect opportunity for Pepper to finally commit to becoming the immortal creature of the night her mother desperately wants her to be.

Between the pressure from her mom and her inability to figure out whether Ana likes Pepper for herself or her aesthetic, it feels like everyone just wants a bite of Pepper. And with all these looming questions, will Pepper be ready to take the biggest bite of her life, committing to an unchanging immortality?
