“So did she kill a lot of people?”
“Yeah. The first night she woke up, it was close to a dozen. Vampires usually awaken mad with the hunger.”
“So, she’s evil,” Samantha decided.
“Not necessarily,” Jeff sighed a weary sigh. “Vampires are scary creatures. They don’t think like we do after a while. They are above us on the food chain and when they are hungry, that is all that matters.”

Pretty When She Dies
By Rhiannon Frater
Amaliya wakes under the forest floor, disoriented, famished and confused. She digs out of the shallow grave and realizes she is hungry…
… in a new, horrific, unimaginable way…
Sating her great hunger, she discovers that she is now a vampire, the bloodthirsty creature of legend. She has no choice but to flee from her old life and travels across Texas. Her new hunger spurs her to leave a wake of death and blood behind her as she struggles with her new nature.
All the while, her creator is watching. He is ancient, he is powerful, and what’s worse is that he’s a necromancer. He has the power to force the dead to do his bidding. Amaliya realizes she is but a pawn in a twisted game, and her only hope for survival is to seek out one of her own kind.
But if Amaliya finds another vampire, will it mean her salvation… or her death?
