About this ebook

A year ago, Cal Thompson was a college freshman more interested in meeting girls and partying than in attending biology class. Now, after a fateful encounter with a mysterious woman named Morgan, biology has become, literally, Cal's life.

Cal was infected by a parasite that has a truly horrifying effect on its host. Cal himself is a carrier, unchanged by the parasite, but he's infected the girlfriends he's had since Morgan. All three have turned into the ravening ghouls Cal calls Peeps. The rest of us know them as vampires. It's Cal's job to hunt them down before they can create more of their kind. . . .

Bursting with the sharp intelligence and sly humor that are fast becoming his trademark, Scott Westerfeld's novel is an utterly original take on an archetype of horror.

Ratings and reviews

I adore ANYTHING by scott westerfeld! I read and loved the uglies series. Now I've read Peeps and tis even better! This is the PERFECT balance between science fiction, fantasy, and romance. Cal is a great character! The bar that you later find is a gay bar is hilarius! Lace's building is so well described I love it! Peeps rocks! If you liked Uglies, you will love this, I swear.

Enjoyable. Wish there was more story line and less parasite lessons, but overall good read.

I couldn't put this book down. Much better than you're newer vamp books like twilight.
