Description: "In the mists of the Scottish Highlands is a university where vampire students study alongside humans. Rebecca Charity is a vampire hunter undercover at the university, searching for the mysterious Book of Blood and Roses, a lost compendium of ways to kill vampires. If she finds it, she'll be one step closer to avenging her parents, who were slain by those creatures of the night. But when Rebecca arrives, she finds something unexpected--a coffin. Her new roommate is Aliz Astra, scion of one of the most powerful vampire families--and the most beautiful woman Rebecca has ever met. The maddeningly gorgeous Aliz is everything that Rebecca has always hated, but also everything she ever wanted, and now Rebecca doesn't know if she wants to kiss or kill her. When one moonlit night Aliz rescues her from a vampire attack, she accidentally makes Rebecca her familiar. And now they must work together to break the curse, but as they get closer to solving the mystery, Rebecca and Aliz get closer too. But can a vampire hunter ever fall in love with a vampire?"--Provided by publisher.
