Night Road by A.M. Jenkins


Gordon was a mistake. Now it's up to Cole and Sandor, Gordon's maker, to give the eighteen-year-old hemovore lessons in his new life. How to feed, how to survive, how to go unnoticed by the omni's. If Gordon doesn't learn his lessons well, he'll end up one of the heme that gets buried alive, conscious and aware but unable to leave the coffin. And if he refuses to learn, it may be Cole who puts him there.

This is not a typical vampire tale. There's no glamour or fantasy to this gritty story. Instead, it's a story of life on the road, trying to survive against the odds and against your will. It's also Cole's story as much as it is Gordon's, and is told from Cole's point of view. Fans of Twilight won't find much similarity, but will enjoy it anyway.
