Saving Shawnie

Shawnie flees Venice to return to her home town in Savannah, Georgia after she finds out her ex-boyfriend is a vampire. When Giovanni drains enough blood from Shawnie that she starts exhibiting symptoms of being a vampire--including sensitivity to sunlight and a craving for blood--Shawnie has no choice but to turn to her grandmother's Norse godlike neighbor Karik for help.  From the moment he sets eyes on Shawnie, Karik wants her, but first he must admit that he too is a vampire, and he must keep her safe from shadow demons as they race across the country for a cure before Shawnie becomes one of the undead.
