Cat the Vamp

{Warning: This book contains mature subject matter and is directed at an older youth audience. Reader discretion is advised.}

They never imagined the temptations of power, love and blood...

As a child, Catherine Taylor never understood why her parents were so secretive and distant. After the death of her grandmother, Cat’s parents take her to a mysterious castle called Blacklune. They explain to her that they, and she, are vampires, part of a hidden community co-existing with humans. Now that she’s of age, Cat will be initiated into the community and undergo a period of training in its methods and morals, along with several other vampire students her own age.

At Blacklune, Cat meets a young man who had appeared to her in dreams, Morgan. She and Morgan form an instant bond, but success with their vampire lessons doesn’t come so easily. Tempted by the lure of blood and the powers they now have, Cat and Morgan push the limits over and over, ignoring the concerns of their classmates and the scolding of their teacher, River. As they become ever more reckless, Cat and Morgan risk going too far. It’s only when serious harm comes to someone else that they realize they have to control themselves--and it may be too late.

Read what reviewers are saying about Cat the Vamp...

"Catherine Taylor's life moves swiftly from sheltered ordinariness to a wider and more unexpected world. The characters are quite believable, the situations both familiar and new to those who've ever been in love, and the dialogue spot-on for young adults finding themselves out on their own and seeking to discover where they fit in. Cat the Vamp is a brisk and engaging read."

"...dangerous and sexy. It is not the average teen vampire novel. Cat the Vamp is something more dark and mysterious...Altogether, the story line greatly reflects the teenage world of today, you are faced with doing what is right and doing what makes you happy and learning from your experiences."

- Arielle Choyce, B.A.M. Books


"Cat the Vamp is not your typical young adult vampire novel. This book reaches beyond sparkly vampires and romantic blood exchanges. It is dark and dangerous...The characters in the story were interesting. The author, Christina Martine, did a great job of evolving them through the stages of dependency. The story line kept me interested and turning pages. I found myself gasping on occasion, in complete disbelief at the actions of the characters."
