Synopsis

"Twelve-year-old human Sophie Dawes lives a good life in Hopetown. There, vampires and humans live in harmony, and Sophie and her adoptive vampire moms are living (or unliving) proof. There are a lot of rules that vampires must follow to keep the humans they live around feeling safe, but if regular visits from child protective services and abiding by a nightly curfew keeps their family together, Sophie will do anything to stay with her loving vampire parents. But then, normal law-abiding vampires begin to go rogue. After Sophie’s own mother—the sweetest person she knows—goes rogue, Sophie decides it’s up to her to find a cure. But taking matters into her own hands might be way more than she bargained for if it means braving a secret council of vampires, executing epic heists, and facing the true bad guys head-on. With her best friend by her side, Sophie will fight for hope, freedom, and a family bonded by a love that’s thicker than blood."
