Would you read a story like this and does it sound like any other vampire book? A couple of things: 1) At least read the whole thing before you respond. 2) You’re an obsessed Twilight fan if you think every vamp novel is a Twilight knock-off. 3) I’m not looking for menial similarities between what I’ve written and other novels. If you read a lot, as some claim, then you’ll know that every novel of the same genre carry the same archetypes, themes, and ideas. And 4) If you’re tired of vampire, then head to the bookstore and pick up a non-vampire book, because I don’t care what you’re tired of. Thanks for reading! - sorry this is so long.

Summary: the main characters are (girl) 18 and (boy) 19. Setting is college.

A vampire boy lives in the city’s sewers because his family is hiding from vampire hunters, he goes to a local city school. The girl just moved to town from California and is the typical Californian, except her father is a skilled vampire hunter and trainer. There are few vampire hunters in the world, but my novel doesn’t center around them; it centers on the budding relationship between the boy and girl and their individual struggle for who they are and what they want. The boy and girl have the same class and are partnered together. The girl’s father has taught her how to spot a vampire because it’s not obvious and they can go out in daylight without any side-effects. The girl is independent and rebels a lot, so she doesn’t have a problem befriending a vampire, because she doesn’t think they’re as bad as her father says they are, though she has never met one.

It starts out that she meets the boy at her new school and since he’s poor she doesn’t like him much because he always comes to school dirty, stinky, and with super oily hair. She lives a very posh life and wants nothing more than to party and live off her father’s money, and she wants to hang around other rich kids, or at least upper-middle class; that’s her goals in life. He wants to come out of hiding and live a normal life and he also wants to stop being hunted; that’s all he’s wished for.

She runs him over with her car one day and tries to make amends for all the time she and her rich friends degraded him in class, and she finds out he’s one of the homeless teens who lives in the sewers and tries to help him. She finds out he’s not as bad as she thought while he becomes jealous of her wealth and lifestyle, which is where his life’s goals change, and he becomes devious. She doesn’t realize he’s a vampire and he doesn’t know her father is a vampire hunter. She recognizes one of the characteristics of a vamp and figures out he’s one, but doesn’t tell him. She becomes attracted to him because of this information; he’s not in love with her, but he uses her to get what he wants. Granted, he’s not ugly, but not many people are attracted to dirty people, haha, and he’s very seductive because he needs to drink the blood of victims who wouldn’t otherwise trust him. But, he’s very attractive when he’s cleaned up.

The boy accidentally finds out that her father is a vampire hunter and begins to hate the girl and her family, and he’s shocked to realize that she already knew he was a vampire. He wants to kill her father before the father brings more vampire hunters to town and kills the boy’s family. The boy plans with his family (mother and child sister) and a nearby vampire coven to kill the vampire hunter. Also, he learns through the girl a lot of information about how hunters hunt vampires, so he helps prepare the other vampires. The girl is still in love with him, but she won’t help him kill her father, but she tries to stop her father from killing the boy. She puts her life in danger to stop the boy from being killed. In the end I’m thinking about having him kill her because his hate for humans has grown a lot since meeting her, much of it out of jealousy that she lives a free and prosperous life, while his rich family has to live like poor people in the city sewers, and he also wants to make the vampire race strong again because he begins to believe that they should regain their rightful place at the top of the food chain.

Since the boy’s little sister is 7, she’s unable to control her vampires urges at that young age and she ends up accidentally killing the girl’s little sister, who is about the same age, but no one finds this out; they think she was kidnapped and killed. This part happens before the boy and girl get to know each other, so no connection is made.
I meant to say that in my vampire world humans still think vampires are a myth. The girl’s family is rich because the father trains vampire hunters and he also anonymously writes conspiracy theory books regarding vampires and has a huge fan following. Vampires are not as strong as they used to be due to years of hunting, and that’s why they’ve gone into hiding. Vampire numbers are declining each year because they’re slowly being killed off. My vamp eventually wants make his race powerful again, that becomes his new goal. In the end, the girl will find out that she was naive with not listening to her father and that all vampires should be staked - no matter what.
