Red Moon Rising — Peter Moore

IF YOUR MOM IS A VAMP AND YOUR DAD IS A WULF, THAT MAKES YOU .
A VERY CONFUSED KID.

Being only half-vamp in a high school like Carpathia Night makes you a whole loser. But Danny Gray manages to escape the worst of the specists at his school. Thanks to genetic treatments he had as an infant, most people assume Danny's other half is human. Which is a good thing.

Ever since the development of synthetic blood -- SynHeme -- vamps have become society's elite, while wulves like Danny's father work menial jobs and live in bad neighborhoods. Wulves are less than second-class citizens: once a month they become inmates, forced to undergo their Change in dangerous government compounds.

For Danny, living with his vamp mother and going to a school with a nearly all-vamp student body, it's best to pretend his wulf half doesn't even exist. But lately Danny's been having some weird symptoms -- fantastic night vision, a keener-than-usual sense of smell, and headaches -- right around the full moon.

Even though it's tempting to live in denial, it's hard to ignore evidence. There are only three weeks until the next full moon, and Danny's time could be running out.
