No age gap and an abundance of consent? In a vampire novel? It’s more likely than you’d think. 17-year-old Poppy is diagnosed with terminal cancer, her best friend James (the titular Secret Vampire) has a plan to save her. All they have to do is exchange a little blood, break several laws, and run away together. Unfortunately for them, Poppy’s brother Phil, James’s cousin Ash, and the rest of the Night World aren’t going to make it easy for them. Join Mary as she leads Renee into a world of unsupervised teenagers, black flowers (which may or may not be funeral flowers), and road trips to Vegas.
