She was never meant to exist. He was never meant to find her.
Tonight, she turns twenty. Tonight, everyone will discover which side she belongs to.By day, the academy belongs to humans.By night, it belongs to vampires. Guest has always lived between both worlds. During the day, humans believe she’s one of them.At night, vampires believe she’s one of them. No one has ever questioned it.No one knows the truth. Guest is the only half-human, half-vampire in existence. The only hybrid.But tonight, everything changes.Tonight, she turns twenty—the age she apparently needs to choose… Remain human… Or become a vampire. There is only one problem.
