Serge is an incubus—one of the sexiest creatures alive. He has reigned long as king of the school.
But after getting his heart broken by a boy he genuinely liked, Serge is facing a crisis of identity. To continue being who he is only seems to lead to loneliness and heartbreak. Maybe he needs to change, to be truer to himself. The bad boy attitude is just an act, after all.
As he navigates this crisis with the help of Bram, his best friend, he starts receiving a nightly visitor—a cute ghost boy with gorgeous eyes, who appears for only a few minutes in the deepest, darkest depths of the night. Serge is desperate to talk to him, to get to know him, but any attempts at communicating with the ghost are met with silence. The boy doesn’t seem to even know he’s there.
To build that bridge and communicate with the ghost, Serge must do the thing he least wants—enlist the help of Victor and Igor, boys he used to tease mercilessly. It’s a gamble and the stakes are high, especially given the fact that life has taught Serge one thing and one thing only…
My name is Froderick Dracula, but my friends call me Frode. I’m seventeen and starting my junior year of high school. My father, the famous Count Dracula, is not only the most celebrated vampire in the world, but he’s also the school ruler, not to mention a huge idiot.

Being the son of the ruler of the school and the highest vampire in all of vampire society is hard enough on its own, but there’s one thing I forgot to mention: I’m gay. It’s pretty hard keeping such a big secret, especially with my father trying to convince me to get my first bite out of the way. I’m not interested in biting any girls, though, so that’s not gonna happen.
Starting the first day of school will be just like every other year, boring, bland, full of classes that I don’t care about. That’s what I assumed until our opening assembly, when I saw him. Caleb Cheval. The new vampire in school. He’s also a noble, and he wants to—hold my hand?
Jay was perfectly normal for an awkward, antisocial, gay teenager. Until he was bitten by a zombie boy.
"Y'know, if I was a sexy type of undead, like a vampire or something, I'm sure I'd have some kind of supernatural power to bring any guy I liked under my charismatic control. Best I can hope for is to not decompose over someone's shoes. How romantic."
