Kiss Me Before I Die

(2010)
A novel by

Extinguishers are humans deliberately infected with the vampire virus. Children from all social levels are regularly screened for exceptional athletic abilities, speed and strength. Bravery.

Females are especially rare for Extinguishers, since the female body is not prone to muscle mass. Not like a man's.

Humans thought it appalling that children were fed the blood of a captured vampire in order to improve their performance. But they looked the other way for the greater good of destroying the growing race of evil creatures--Vampires. After all, someone has to police the stronger, more beautiful race of peoples. It was beginning to look like plain old vanilla humans were low man on the food chain and that inspired fear. Like all prejudices, after the fear followed hatred.

That had been me. I was the Queen of the Extinguishers one year previous. Now, at the tender age of twenty-five, I'm the first retired Extinguisher in existence.

I should have known it wouldn't be that easy for the government to let me go.
