Daughter of Darkness
by Andrews VC (9780857202130)

V.C. Andrews enters the world of vampires for the first time in this all-new novel, Daughter of Darkness.

Lorelei Patio, 17, is the adopted daughter of a two-hundred-year-old vampire, Sergio Patio.

He, a nanny named Mrs. Fennel, her older sisters Ava and Brianna and her younger sister Marla are the only family she has known. She was adopted as an infant. Mrs. Fennel was responsible for her early upbringing with Sergio giving her as much normal fatherly love as possible. For most of her youth, she never fully realised who and what her father was, nor what her sisters were brought up to do for him, but one day, that all changed.

Mrs. Fennel prepared her for it, as did Ava, but the initial realisation came as a shock. Sergio's "daughters" serve a very important purpose. They are all beautiful young ladies who can easily attract men. Sergio uses them to lure young men into the house so he can feed on their blood. Daddy expects Lorelei to be the obedient daughter he needs and bring him new victims.

But Lorelei is, above all else, a teenager. When she meets a shy, handsome young man named Buddy in school, she quickly falls in love with him. He feels the same way, but wonders why she doesn't want to take him home to meet her father. Lorelei knows what will happen if she does, and tries desperately to keep her two worlds apart, but she can't keep it up forever, and can never truly escape her fate as a daughter of darkness.
