About this ebook

At a new school, you get a chance to reinvent yourself, so...why not be a vampire?

Gordon is hiding something. Is it the fact that he's secretly a vampire? No, of course n-wait. Yes. That's exactly what he's hiding. Let's go with that.

So when this nerdy teen moves to a small town where all the kids are obsessed with vampire fiction, he reinvents himself as their dream character: dark & brooding, cool as hell, and overly susceptible to stabs through the heart.

While rivaling the alpha male jock, garnering the attention of the most popular girl in his class, and forming a hilarious friendship with the girl next door (the only one who knows his secret), Gordon might find that his new school is the perfect place for him to shine-or, better yet, sparkle.

But if his classmates dig up the truth, it'll be the nail in his coffin...

Ratings and reviews

I got this book for free, in exchange for my honest opinion via NetGalley. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm Team Zombie forever. However, after being apart of a Blitz for this book, I had to break my rules of no vampires and requested to read the book. Gordon and his father are transplants from California to a small town in Montana. As the new kid in school, Gordon can be anything he wants. So he chooses a teenage vampire.

Story is good. Character is very interesting and seems like a person whom you would have definitely met in your life. He surely knows how to make life interesting even when life throws the hardship at you. Worth reading. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

See how this vamp makes it work. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

About the author

James Schannep has no tragic backstory.

Having grown up in a fairly ordinary suburban household, with a family who loved him, he was forced to dream up far flung adventures on strange new worlds where the hero can save the day and make a difference through strength of character alone.

Schannep attended the United States Air Force Academy, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in English Literature with a minor in General Engineering. After serving honorably as a Nuclear Missile Command and Control Officer, he returned to trying to make a difference through story.

As a screenwriter, game designer, and novelist, he is probably best known for his Click Your Poison series of interactive gamebooks.

Social Vampire is his first novel.

When not dreaming up strange new worlds, James lives in the one inhabited by his wife, who faithfully remains the patroness of his art, and with his children, who don’t quite grasp what they’ve inherited yet with such an eccentric father.
