    As a long-time nonprofit professional, I'm intrigued at the mixing of fantasy and fundraising. Plus, what a gorgeous cover!

    I remember enjoying this one. And you’ve reminded me that I have an arc for the third book.

    I haven’t read this one but I got sucked into vampires early, probably around 2nd grade with a kids series...
