Companions of the Night — Vivian Vande Velde
The Edgar Awardâ€"winning author of Never Trust a Dead Man puts a terrifying spin on what should be a typical night in a small town.
Sixteen-year-old Kerry has got a tough night ahead of her. What begins as a simple lost-and-found trip to the laundromat to rescue her little brother's stuffed koala bear turns into a nightmarish odyssey of murder, vampires, and -- quite possibly -- true love.
“Interview with a Vampire for the learner's permit set.” -- The Horn Book
“A freshly written thriller, an offbeat love story, an engaging twist on the vampire novel, and an exciting tale of moral complexity . . . . Point [this] book at the Lois Duncan fans as well as Anne Rice followers, and get out of the way.” -- The Bulletin
“[Vande Velde] is a master at taking traditional fairy-tale-like themes and making them fresh and totally unique. Companions of the Night . . . does that for the vampire story . . . . The narrative is tightly wound, keeping readers ready for excitement and action.” -- Emma Carbone, New York Public Library
