“Being a vampire sucks,” Ella said shakily. “It’s just death, death, and more death. Everyone you love dies. One by one, they all die. It suh- suh- sucks.”
Kwan put her arms around her.
“Don’t you die, Kwan. Don’t. Just don’t. Don’t leave me alone again. Don’t leave me all alone.”
“I will never leave you,” Kwan said.
When abused Pittsburgh prostitute Ella Renee Davenport becomes a vampire, she can finally stand up to her pimp and anyone else who threatens her. But it is much harder to cope with a steadily increasing lifespan. Ella treasures her friends and lovers, but as time goes by -- five years, ten years, twenty, fifty, two hundred, four hundred... humans die. So do nations and civilizations. The only constant is Ella, and her quest to make sense of what happened to her and how she should live her unnaturally prolonged life.
