And the only ones who don’t get staked are the ones who avoid attacking people, admit they have a problem, and join a support group.

But then one of the group is mysteriously turned to ashes . . . and suddenly they’re all under threat. That’s when Nina decides to prove that every vampire on earth isn’t a weak, pathetic loser.
