Haha, I need to find out the exact release date here in the US! It stinks that release dates between US and UK are always so far apart.
You really do need to read the Blue Bloods! They're very well written and extremely creative with the vampire concept. Its not your traditional "Ah, I'm a shiny immortal here to suck your neck, you sexy big breasted babe, you!" The backstory is one of my favorites in today's YA literature. Yeah... you're moving them higher on your list now, aren't you?
