We’ve been bringing you goodies every Friday for weeks, nay, months, but I think this might take the award for most amusing and original item. Book By You is a company that produces romance novels in various genres plus teen novels that can be personalized by the reader! You choose the names, physical characteristics, even pets for the central characters and the book is printed as requested. This week we’re featuring their teen novel, First Bite, a vampire novel for teens that can be personalized by you. Here’s a synopsis:

This timeless teen romance begins with a chance encounter in a darkened library, when a bright, book-loving high school student has her life saved by a captivating stranger with haunting eyes and a terrible secret: he’s doomed to a bloodthirsty immortality as a vampire.

Instantly drawn to the magnetic but elusive hero, our determined heroine (helped by her best friend) tracks him down despite his efforts to protect her from the truth.  As much as the creature of the night wants to hide, he too can’t stay away from the sensitive, intelligent young woman who mesmerizes him.



Finally the two are brought together by another life-threatening incident, and they can no longer deny their feelings for one another. But slowly our heroine realizes there’s more to this elegant young man with the old-fashioned speech and knightly demeanor.

She digs at the truth until she learns his tragic past and dangerous nature. Her loyalty is tested: can they really have a future together? She is determined to remain steadfast and believes love will overcome their problems. Our hero has doubts and doesn’t know if the future holds hope … or heartbreak. He’s all-too-aware of the danger that surrounds him and is fiercely protective of our heroine (though she’s strong enough to take care of herself). While he’s able to curb his desire to make the heroine one of his own kind, how long can his strength last in the face of such temptation?

Wouldn’t that be a cool gift for a teen you know? Or maybe you want it for yourself? You’re in luck because we’re giving away one personalized copy of First Bite to a lucky True-Blood.net winner!
