(4) YA During a terrifying vampire attack, Emma's epileptic seizure interrupts the monster's feeding, preventing her from being fully "turned" while giving her super-vampire-like powers. Hiding at a NASA base, Emma meets an aspiring astronomer who helps her defeat the vampire. The overlong story sometimes struggles to connect its many strands, getting mired in exposition. However, its premise and characters are engaging.
