–High School Only–

This was the unanimous favorite new book in our household this summer and when it was finally my turn, I wasn’t disappointed.

I love vampire stories and I love it when an author does something unique with the familiar plot line. 19-year-old Cal has just arrived in New York City from Texas when he contracts a contagious disease that makes him a “Peep”– parasite positive. Miraculously, Cal avoids becoming a blood thirsty cannibal, and is recruited by a secret police force to track down other peeps.

Campy and creepy, if you love all things gross, you’ll also enjoy the information on various real life parasites that Westerfeld crams in alternating chapters.
