Nightshade Academy Series

Vampirism. An academy made for monsters. A shifter I can't avoid because he fires up my bloodlust. That's what my life has become. I'm used to being the weird girl. When I look at people, I see their auras instead of their faces. But I never thought a vampire would rip out of me when a mysterious man told me these simple words: "Your blood is mine." The timing was too perfect. Right after that, the headmaster of Nightshade Academy kidnapped me before I could hurt someone with my newly "awakened" vampire genes. Now she's making me attend her school until I've relearned how to be a civilized human being. Well, I want out. I just graduated high school, and I'm not doing college. Besides, my mom is probably worried sick about me. Probably. It gets worse when I meet Kian. He's a shifter and one of the most popular students at Nightshade Academy. He's the type of person I avoid, so I hate that I'm drawn to him. His smell is intoxicating. Being near him turns on my bloodlust, and that's when I realize how in trouble I really am. If I can't control this bloodlust, I'm going to kill someone. — Nightshade Academy is a young adult contemporary fantasy series.

I gave in to my bloodlust. I almost got Kian and myself killed because of it. Monster hunters, demons, Nighshade's mysterious benefactor. There's a lot about this world I don't know, and it keeps getting worse. Kian's blood is the only thing I can stomach. Our Colors react, and he knows things about me he shouldn't. The headmaster of Nightshade Academy says she's never seen a blood sensitivity as bad as mine, which is probably a nice way of saying my bloodlust is out of control. I'm starting to think I'll never get out of here or see my mom again. But I'm not giving up. I'm going to beat this—if Kian doesn't ruin me first.

My mom is dead. She committed suicide. It wasn’t supposed to be this way. I was going to beat my bloodlust and go back to her. Now I have nothing except for an addiction to Kian’s blood and a twin I didn’t know about. My twin’s name is Archer, and our Colors are reactive. I’m dangerous enough on my own. With Archer, I’m worse. We drain the auras of living things. I don’t want to hurt anyone. I want to know if my feelings for Kian are more than my bloodlust. For once in my life, I want to choose.
