Synopsis

Being only half-vampyre in a high school like Danny Gray's makes you a whole loser. But Danny manages to escape the worst of the hounding thanks to genetic treatments that mask his werewolf side. So far, he’s been able to live the privileged life of a vampyre.

 

Vamps are society’s elite, while wulves like Danny’s father are less than second-class citizens. During the full moon they become inmates, forced to undergo their Change in dangerous government compounds.

 

But Danny never had to worry about any of that. Until now. Lately, every time there’s a full moon, he’s been getting weird symptoms: keen night vision, skull-splitting headaches, and increased strength. Now his new girlfriend, a human named Juliet, is wondering what’s wrong with him. She’s asking questions… questions he can’t answer. 

 

If his fears turn out to be true, everything in Danny’s life could be destroyed. Is there any way he can get through the next full moon without everyone finding out what he really is?

Set in a paranormal world not too far from our own, Peter Moore crafts an unforgettable coming-of-age story that will raise readers' hackles.

Biographie de l'auteur

Peter Moore has been writing fiction since he was eleven years old, and became an amateur lycanthropologist even earlier. Because he studied hard in high school and ate all his vegetables, he was able to attend Vassar College and Columbia University. Though he briefly considered a career in the FBI, America can rest easy: it didn't work out. Instead, he has worked as a screenwriter, college professor, English teacher, and guidance counselor. He lives with his wife and two kids in Westchester, New York. This is his third book for young adults. He strongly denies all rumors that he is a werewolf. Still, he won't say where he goes every month during the full moon.
