My Boyfriend Bites aims its wooden stake/silver bullet/pitchfork at the heart of the paranormal romance YA readers love, with the insight into real-world relationships everyone could use, and with True Love for its horror-story roots.

Vanessa Shingle thought life in her little New Mexico town was boring until she met Jean-Paul McClellan. Tall, cool, good-looking Jean-Paul. The only problem with him is his unglamorous job as a janitor. Oh, wait. That's not the only problem. Turns out he may also be a vampire. And it turns out that he and Vanessa meeting was no accident. Vanessa learns that she is a descendant of Abraham Van Helsing, the legendary monster-hunter. But if Jean-Paul is a vampire, why was he sent to help her fight the coven of obnoxious--but nonetheless deadly--vampires trying to kill her?
