The Dead Girls' Dance
by Rachel Caine

Party till you drop.

Good news girls, your dates are here!

Claire Danvers has her share of challenges. Like being a genius in a school that favors beauty over brains, homicidal girls in her dorm, and above all, finding out that her college town is overrun with vampires. On the up side she has a great roommate (who tends to disappear at sun-up), and a new boyfriend named Shane whose vampire-hunting dad has called in back-up: cycle punks who like the idea of killing just about anything...

Bad news girls, they're dead.

Now the fraternity is throwing the Dead Girls' Dance and surprise (!) Claire and her equally out-cast best friend Eve have been invited. When they find out why, all hell is going to break loose. Because this time both the living and the dead are coming out—and everybody's hungry for blood.
