Oliver Nocturne
7 primary works
Book 1
Oliver's life is no different from those of most middle school kids-except he sleeps in a coffin and drinks blood for breakfast
Oliver Nocturne lives a pretty normal life-he deals with bullies, has an obnoxious older brother, and generally feels misunderstood. But being a vampire presents another host of problems, especially when he feels-he knows-he's not quite like everyone else.
When Emalie, a human girl with a troubled past, takes a picture of him, Oliver ignores the rules that forbid him from interacting with humans and agrees to show her the darkest secrets of the Seattle underworld. But their quest will uncover more than vampire mythology-they will learn the terrible truth about Oliver's past and his purpose. And for Emalie, this knowledge could come at a fatal price.

Book 2
When a vampire's best friends are a human and a zombie, he's bound to feel like a freak
Two months after Dean's death, Oliver is a hero in the vampire world. But even though he wasn't responsible, he's having trouble sleeping and has never felt more alone.
Surprisingly, Dean returns-as a zombie, no less-and though Oliver is glad to have his friend back, they need to hurry; someone has been slaying vampire children, and all the evidence points to Emalie. Can Oliver and Dean find her before the vampires do? Their search takes them deep into the underground black market and high into the Seattle night. As they discover the powerful forces behind the sunlight slayings, Oliver finds that it's all intricately tied to a future he doesn't want.

Oliver, Dean, and Emalie search the underground vampire city of Morosia for Selene, a mysterious woman who may be able to help them discover what happened to Emalie's mother and what Oliver's destiny is.
Book 4
It's scary to know the fate of the world lies in your hands-but even scarier to learn that it might be in your brother's
It's the last night of summer and Oliver is hoping to have some fun with his two best friends. Once school starts, he'll be one step closer to receiving his demon . . . and fulfilling the prophecy to open the Nexia Gate.
Meanwhile, a series of gruesome animal attacks on humans has threatened to expose the vampire world. The evidence points to Oliver's brother, Bane, who has recently acquired Occupying power-the ability to inhabit animals. Yet Oliver, Emalie, and Dean suspect something else is going on-a sinister plot that involves Oliver's destiny, and possibly the mystery surrounding his human parents. Bane may hold the key to Oliver uncovering his past and changing his future-if the Half-Light Consortium doesn't get to him first.
