Plot
Life can't be easy all the time for any teenager. But Vladimir is no ordinary 14 year old, in fact he is a hybrid between vampire and human. His mother was human and his father was a creature of the night. Vladimir is a one of a kind vampire also known as the Pravus, the half- human half-vampire legend that will soon enslave the human race and rule over vampire kind for all eternity. But how could Vlad turn into this monster they say he will soon become, he's a student of Bathory Middle School and lives off of blood bags and raw animal meat his guardian, Aunt Nelly supplies him with. Vladimir is the only one left the only vampire in the world,so he thinks. But he couldn't be more wrong especially when his new substitute teacher Mr.Otis appears causing Vlad to think that he was the murderer who put his parents in the ground and killed his real teacher, Mr.Craig. Vlad needs to overcome obstacles he would never imagined exist. He needs to take on D'Ablo, a council president and the man that believes Vlad's father is still alive. The only way Vlad can solve this problem is by working with Otis, who presents himself as a fellow vampire and Vlad's father's step-brother making him Vlad's uncle. Heather Brewer takes the first book in this gothic series and throws it at you keeping your mind entertained while you take a peek at a vampire's every day life.
