Eighteen year old Rick Thompson is a marked man. When Damien Masonite comes to his school, he knows something is up. And when his friends start falling to vampire attacks, he knows that he and his girlfriend Laura are next. The quest to understand immortality, true love and undying friendship compromise his safety even more. Can he keep his best friends, his true love and keep his mortal life?

Clendening has created somewhat of a subtle emotional firestorm in The Vampire Way. This story understands the desperation of young dreams and the price some may pay to attain them. Engaging, tightly written and poignant, this tale must be sought after for those who love the bloodsucker genre!
