Ariella Montero is a teenage vampire with a lot to learn about her family and who she really is. She is a sweet, sensitive 13-year-old girl from Saratoga Springs. Unbeknownst to her, she is also a vampire. Raised by her widowed father, Ari is told she has a weak immune system and should stay away from crowds. When she learns that her father is also a vampire and that her mother may not be dead at all, she embarks on a journey to discover the truth about herself and her family.
Ariella lives with her father, she's homeschooled, and her life is quite regimented. When she's exposed to her housekeeper's family she discovers love and friendship and starts to question her life and lifestyle. Those questions bring up some issues that she is unsure if the answers aren't a bit out of whack.
It's not a bad read but it really didn't capture my imagination. I would have believed it better if the character was older when she began her road trip to find her mother. Not a bad read but not really for me.
