Ciara is hired by a desperate independent radio station as a marketing intern. They must hugely increase their revenues or they will be bought out by a conglomerate. When Ciara discovers the radio station's secret - all its DJs are vampires - she sees a chance at a real plan - a crazy plan. She turns the secret into a cheesy marketing ploy. But secrets from everyone's pasts - including Ciara - will be knocking at the door all too soon...
This is a funny and engrossing book. Fans of the genre will find it a welcome addition, and for my part, I'm hoping for sequels.
