I Am Not a Vampire (Anymore)

A former vampire races to help a newly turned friend find a cure for their vampirism in this thrilling YA debut, a romantasy from Miller (the Strangeville School series). Florida high schooler Lily startles her boyfriend Max’s best friend, Ezra, when she realizes that Ezra is showing symptoms of a recent vampire bite. Lily was once a vampire herself, having been turned in Victorian England and later restored to humankind using a rare fragment of the gravestone of the first vampire. As she teaches Ezra the rules of navigating undeath—and the art of keeping it secret from their friends—the situation becomes more complicated with the arrival of Cassius, the vampire who originally turned Lily, and who seems intent on pulling her back into his orbit. Their predicament takes another unexpected turn when their friend Sarita reveals that she’s a witch—and that her coven possesses a stash of the gravestone fragments that Ezra needs. But witches and vampires are bitter enemies, forcing Lily and Ezra, who read as white, to mount a risky heist while dodging Cassius, evading Sarita’s coven, and untangling their growing romantic feelings. A bustling blend of supernatural adventure and romantic tension keep the stakes high across a quick-moving plot. It’s a frothy, fang-filled romp that will entice vampire fans. Ages 14–up. (June)
