The maddeningly gorgeous Aliz is everything that Rebecca has always hated, but also everything she ever wanted, and now Rebecca doesn't know if she wants to kiss or kill her. 

When one moonlit night Aliz rescues her from a vampire attack, she accidentally makes Rebecca her familiar. And now they must work together to break the curse, but as they get closer to solving the mystery, Rebecca and Aliz get closer too.
