Blood makes her a vampire. Love makes him deadly.

Eighteen-year-old Cherish Armitage's father and brother die in an accident when she is thirteen. Her best friend, Joshua, helps her pull through the tough times. Five years later, she's in a tragic collision that kills her mother and sister and leaves her incapacitated. When she awakens, she is imbued with the knowledge of her ancestors. They've made one thing clear: her family's deaths were no accident, and she's expected to exact revenge for them all. She's the solitary survivor of her bloodline, and shockingly, she's a vampire-a truth her family hid from her.

Joshua is off limits because he's in a relationship with their other best friend, but she still throbs in places she's not supposed to whenever he's near. Being thrust into living quarters with him only adds to her confusing predicament. Centuries ago, her family was cursed. Anyone who falls in love dies.

She's approached by familiar faces and strangers, all demanding a formula she has no clue about. Those same people die when they don't get what they want.

Trying to quell her growing feelings for Josh while sucking down enough blood that her ever-present ancestors are pleased, but not so much that she turns into an aggressive, hormone-raging vampire, again, is proving near impossible. But if she doesn't uncover the person responsible for her family's deaths, her ancestors will make her life worse than the hell it already is. And if she doesn't give up this formula, someone she cares about will die. And if her heart doesn't stop wishing for Josh, none of the rest will matter because the love curse will kill her.
