The Pining (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781684186389)

Kevin's life changed forever the day he awoke to the face of a man with dark eyes. One bite transformed him from an ordinary suburban kid to a master vampire's drone.

Kevin struggles to adjust to his new life. Against his master's wishes, Kevin refuses to hunt, but he knows it's only a matter of time before he caves. The longer a person is a vampire, the more compliant they are to their master's will.

When Kevin decides to give the hunt a try, he's kidnapped by vampire hunters. Rather than endure their severe torture, he agrees to help them kill his master. The hunters' plan goes horribly awry, and they flee the scene with Kevin. But they have to devise a new strategy quick. The longer he's away from his master, the more painful his life becomes. He craves his master. He hungers for him. He pines for him. And as they get close to enacting their plan, Kevin isn't sure if he'll be able to follow through.
