Sinner — Blakely Chorpenning

When darkness calls in Brownsville, Texas, innocence answers.Alice's carefully ordered world, where every window shade must be drawn and each cabinet alphabetized, shatters as she's dragged into a hidden realm of horrors. Her agonizing transformation into a vampire brings more than just a thirst for blood, it awakens memories of a past better left buried, and her desperate counting rituals to keep her spiraling mind in check grow more futile with each passing night.As feral vampires stalk the darkest shadows, Alice finds herself torn between two mysterious figures:Gesick, whose withdrawn behavior, oversized hoodies, and library-scented sanctuary offer refuge as easily as they conceal regret; and Wolf, a mysterious drifter whose casual smirks and unnatural allure are emotional napalm to Alice's carefully constructed walls. But in a world where monsters wear human faces, aligning herself with the wrong forces could cost Alice more than her humanity.When her past and present collide, Alice must confront an impossible choice: cling to the fragile remnants of her human life, or embrace personal demons and become what she fears most.Plunge into the heart of obsessive-compulsive darkness with Alice.Wow! I can't remember any other vampire book going into such fabulous detail about the transition from human to vamp.
