About The Book:
Release Date: 2013
Genre: YA Paranormal
Every thousand years the Vampire Queen selects a new body, always the fairest in the land, and this time she's chosen Snow White.Snow isn't an ordinary girl. She doesn't know that yet.
When Snow gets bitten by a Hunter, her life is thrown into a whirlwind of change where instead of worrying about what to eat, she has to fight not to drink the blood of fellow high school students. She becomes a revenant - not quite human, not quite vampire.
With the help of an eccentric old Professor, his seven adoptive sons, and her best friend, Snow learns to control her blood craving. Sort of. She drinks a bloodlust tea, but she'd rather drink from her Hunter.
Or, a human.
She also discovers a whole other realm, one filled with fairies, dragons, and magic. And not only does the Vampire Queen want her, but there's a pendant called the Seal of Gabriel created for Snow by the Vampire Queen's twin sister. And Snow's supposed to use it to restore balance to all magical creatures. Including vampires.

Excerpt:
“I’ve
had several seriously sexual day dreams about the new guy. Have you seen him?”
“Cin,
I didn’t need to know that.” I jammed my math book into my backpack, and
slammed the locker door. Cindy rested her petite frame against the locker next
to mine. Her radiant baby blues twinkled. “No, I haven’t seen him. Apparently
he’s . . . cute?” I asked.
She
snorted. “Cute? No! He isn’t a kitten. He’s hot, sexier than hell, and has a
voice that could melt chocolate.”
I
had to laugh. Cindy had a way with words. It’d been like that since first
grade. We met our first day of school. She’d traded me her Twinkie for my apple
with the line, “I don’t think you should eat the apple, Snow White.” We’d been
friends almost ten years.
She
was different than me in every way, except our blue eyes. She was the epitome
of a waif, while I towered over her at five foot eight. She had blond hair that
hung long, and was always perfectly styled, mine was a boring dark brown, and
came to just below my ears. Her clothes were the latest fashion, as were her
nails, makeup, and jewelry, including the heart shaped stud in her belly
button. Me, well let’s just say I didn’t own any makeup, and my clothes
consisted of baggy jeans, and large old t-shirts, thanks to my seven best
friends, and their hand-me-downs. My nails were stubby, and my ears weren’t
even pierced. Honestly, I wondered if Cin found me embarrassing sometimes, but
I gave her points for sticking around.
“Melt
chocolate, huh? He sounds nice.”
“Snow!”
She stomped her foot. “Nice isn’t even a proper word. It’s in the same arena as
fine, good, okay, and pure.” She shuddered.
“What’s
wrong with pure?” I asked, unable to
help a laugh, and started toward the gym.
She
jogged next to me. “Nothing if you’re Snow White.”
