This book is about people who can become “parasite positive” by sharing a toothbrush, kissing, being bitten, or having sex with an infected person. They start having cravings for rare steaks, hating their old life, avoiding the sun, and eating people if their not carriers. Cal a carrier working for an agency trying to capture crazed “peeps” (vampireish people aka parasite positive) and getting them off the street before they kill everyone in sight. HE meets a girl named Lace short for Lacey living in the old apartment of the girl Morgan who infected Cal. Together they try to figure out whats living under all the buildings and rock of NYC.
I read this book because I really liked some of the other books this person has written. I liked that it wasnt like other vampire books that people are reading. I didnt really think of the “peeps” as vampires thou they just made me think of monsters and not other vampires ive read about. this book is way better than anything like twilight. It actually make vampires seem more possible.
