Despite her thin body and long blonde hair, Vanessa has a few characteristics that set her apart like pale skin, giant fangs, amazingly fast speed, and an insatiable craving for human blood. After her parents recognize Vanessa's growing inability to hide her vampire identity from her classmates, they enroll her at Monstero Academy, a special school that teaches monsters how to hone their abilities. After Vanessa enters the school through a portal and meets new friends, Pete and Jen, they tell her she is the chosen hero to defeat the evil principal of the school and save all the monsters from a terrible fate. In order to stop the principal from imprisoning and killing the monsters, Vanessa must collect the three powerful stones-or so she thinks. Unfortunately she is about to discover that not everyone is who they appear to be. In this exciting tale, a teen vampire embarks on a dangerous quest to fulfill her destiny where only time will tell if she will have the courage to face her enemies and save the monsters-before it is too late for them all.

Book excerpt: A recent string of popular-level books written by the New Atheists have leveled the accusation that the God of the Old Testament is nothing but a bully, a murderer, and a cosmic child abuser. This viewpoint is even making inroads into the church. How are Christians to respond to such accusations? And how are we to reconcile the seemingly disconnected natures of God portrayed in the two testaments? In this timely and readable book, apologist Paul Copan takes on some of the most vexing accusations of our time, including: God is arrogant and jealous God punishes people too harshly God is guilty of ethnic cleansing God oppresses women God endorses slavery Christianity causes violence and more Copan not only answers God's critics, he also shows how to read both the Old and New Testaments faithfully, seeing an unchanging, righteous, and loving God in both.
