| Pretty Dead | comment |
Written by Francesca Lia Block. Charlotte Emerson is a 100-year-old vampire, living alone in a luxurious L.A. mansion and grieving the death of Emily, her best and only friend, who allegedly killed herself. Ever since that night, much to her confusion, Charlotte has been experiencing symptoms of humanity—sweat, broken nails, an end to her craving for blood. Also, she feels powerfully drawn to Jared, Emily's boyfriend, who appears to feel the same way despite, or perhaps because of, his grief. When William Stone Eliot, Charlotte's sire, comes back to town with a plan involving all three of them, dark secrets will be revealed and love tested to its limits. | |

Murder the Hypotenuse | |
| Pretty Dead / int_373e2b9f | comment |
Murder the Hypotenuse: After weeks of suppressing her jealousy of Emily (for her mortality and Jared) and thirsting for her blood, Charlotte loses control, bites her, and runs away. William, who's been spying on them all along, turns Emily into a vampire. Charlotte, whether due to getting "drunk" on the blood or through active denial, does not remember until the climax of the book. William plans to kill Jared instead of turning him, because he has "no intention" of sharing Emily. | |
