The Good Vampire's Guide to Blood & Boyfriends

Brennan is nineteen and back at Sturbridge University for his sophomore year after recovering from a suicide attempt. It was not the fresh start he pictured, and then he turns into a vampire. He copes the way he always has, by acting as if nothing is wrong while he comes close to losing his grip.

His new bloodthirst gets harder to manage when Cole, a librarian and the campus crush, finds him drinking from a stolen blood bag. Cole agrees to keep the secret, and he may even like Brennan back. Brennan now has a first relationship to handle alongside what the book calls vampire puberty, and Cole is the one person who makes him feel normal.

Brennan has also joined an underground society: an eclectic clan of vampires who call themselves good. Rumors of a missing student are spreading, and strange animal attacks are on the rise near campus. To get to the truth, Brennan has to dig into the clan's secrets.

The stakes are personal. He has to find a balance between being a vampire and staying human, or lose the first real friends he has ever had.

This is a queer paranormal rom-com with a humorous, warm tone. The darker material is present, but the mood stays gentle, with a light touch on the supernatural mystery.
