THROAT By: R.A. Nelson Epilepsy-Vampires Young Adult Literature

THROAT By: R.A. Nelson
Emma has always felt trapped by her epilepsy. Unable to get a license, always
going to the doctor's, she hasn't had much of a life since the seizures started when she was a little girl. She always thought of the disease as a curse, until one morning when she wakes up in the hospital, weak for blood loss. Her epilepsy has saved her from a violent attack from the evil vampire, Wirtz. Now Emma is left with some amazing powers-speed, strength, heightened sense-minus the need to drink blood. So is Emma a vampire or something else? Only one thing soon becomes clear: Wirtz wants Emma for his, whether she's a vampire or not, and he won't leave until he gets exactly what he wants. Ages 12 and up. Knopf $16.99 Reviewed by Maggie age 16
