Peeps by Scott Westerfeld

Back to the public library to peruse this week's topic--Scary! The first book I spotted that looked interesting was Peeps by Scott Westerfeld. I recognized his name from The Pretties series (it's on my to-read list.) This vampire story has a heavy dose of sci-fi as the "peeps" or parasite positive are cannibals lurking in New York City. Cal must now track down others who are infected. School Library Journal said " This innovative and original vampire story, full of engaging characters and just enough horror without any gore, will appeal to a wide audience." This book looks like a thriller with enough horror, science fiction and romance in it to appeal to a wide range of readers.
