Thanks to its unique combination of human and vampire
residents, Morganville, Texas, is a small college town with
big–time problems. When student Claire Danvers gets
the chance to experience life on the outside, she takes it.
But Morganville isn't the only town with vampire trouble...
Claire never thought she'd leave Morganville, but when she
gets accepted into the graduate program at MIT, she can't
pass up the opportunity. Saying good–bye to her
friends is bittersweet, especially since things are still
raw and unsettled between Claire and her boyfriend, Shane.
Her new life at MIT is scary and exciting, but Morganville
is never really far from Claire's mind. Enrolled in a
special advanced study program with Professor Irene
Anderson, a former Morganville native, Claire is able to
work on her machine, which is designed to cancel the mental
abilities of vampires.
But when she begins testing her machine on live subjects,
things quickly spiral out of control, and Claire starts to
wonder whether leaving Morganville was the last mistake
she'll ever make...
