BLOOD ORANGE SODA - Tecno-Libro

Darius Hunter lives in a world where vampires live among normal humans. Young vampires like Darius are kept on a government-mandated medication that prevents them from becoming fully undead until they re 18. He s smart, sensitive and all-too human-a struggling outsider who s just trying to fit in, find a girlfriend and escape the attention of football bully Bao Wang. it s his humanity that often keeps him from his hopes and dreams, so Darius cool uncle Jack, a vampire, introduces him to a substance called Blood Orange Soda. This strange analog of steroids can speed Darius maturation into his full vampire state, but it can t guarantee that he ll avoid disrupting the lives of his mother and sister, win the love of Angel Martin or successfully face up to Bao. it also doesn t make him immune to heartbreak and loss. The author takes familiar themes of YA fiction-vampires and teen romance-and treats them with a surprising empathy and respect that gives them real weight.
