Bookroo's summary

Pearl, a teenage vampire, gains the ability to withstand sunlight after a unicorn's horn pierces her heart. Her family sees this as an opportunity to infiltrate a high school and lure students to a vampire feast. But as Pearl befriends her classmates, including a charming boy who stirs her undead heart, she grapples with a moral dilemma. Can she betray her new friends to satisfy her family's demands, or will her growing conscience lead her to defy the Vampire King? Pearl's choice could mean life or death in this darkly humorous tale.

From the publisher

Vampire romance takes a snarky turn in this humorous novel, coming soon to TV screens as a Lifetime Original Movie! Pearl is a sixteen-year-old vampire…fond of blood, allergic to sunlight, and mostly evil…until the night a sparkly unicorn stabs her through the heart with his horn. Oops. Her family thinks she was attacked by a vampire hunter (because, obviously, unicorns don’t exist), and they’re shocked she survived. They’re even more shocked when Pearl discovers she can now withstand the sun. But they quickly find a way to make use of her new talent. The Vampire King of New England has chosen Pearl’s family to host his feast. If Pearl enrolls in high school, she can make lots of human friends and lure them to the King’s feast–as the entrées. The only problem? Pearl’s starting to feel the twinges of a conscience. How can she serve up her new friends–especially the cute guy who makes her fangs ache–to be slaughtered? Then again, she’s definitely dead if she lets down her family. What’s a sunlight-loving vamp to do?
