A darkly compelling supernatural thriller with added bite. The YA debut of rising star Lee Newbery.

Do you want to live forever?

In a world where vampires have – with their strength, speed and impossible good looks – become apex celebrities as well as apex predators, this is the question Kai Dimitri is forced to ask himself when he’s invited to take part in the reality TV show, Death Wish.

The prize for victory is a vampire bite, and immortality, but winning is only one possible outcome. The other is death – real death, not the glamorous vampire kind. Even so, if there’s the slightest chance that he can save his sick mother, Kai will take the odds – not to mention the fact that he might be falling in love with the irresistibly sexy Max, who is a vampire himself.

But with long-simmering tensions between humans and vampires rising to boiling point, the thirteenth season of Death Wish threatens to be the most shocking and deadly yet.

The stakes are high. Let the games begin.

An addictive thriller perfect for fans of Juno Dawson's Survival Show.
