Bookroo's summary
Twelve-year-old Emma-Rose Paley feels out of place with her sunny parents. With her pale skin, sharp teeth, and aversion to garlic, she wonders if she's more than just different. When a family secret surfaces, Emma-Rose must confront the chilling possibility that she might be a real vampire. As she delves deeper into her mysterious heritage, she faces questions that could change her life forever. Is she ready to embrace her true nature, or will the truth be too much to handle?
From the publisher
Poison Apple Books: Thrilling. Bone-chilling. These books have bite! Twelve-year-old Emma-Rose Paley has always felt different from her bubbly, outgoing parents. Unlike them, Emma-Rose has pale skin and jet-black hair, is quiet and moody, and prefers gray weather to sunshine. She also hates the taste of garlic, has very sharp incisors, and loves rare burgers. When Emma-Rose uncovers a dark family secret, she has a sudden revelation. Could Emma-Rose be a real, live vampire?
