Readers who love vampire romances will be thrilled to devour Team Human by Justine Larbalestier and Sarah Rees Brennan. Team Human celebrates and parodies the Twilight books, as well as other classics in the paranormal romance genre.

Mel is horrified when Francis Duvarney, arrogant, gorgeous, and undead, starts at her high school. Mel's best friend, Cathy, immediately falls for the vampire. Cathy is determined to be with him forever, even if having him turn her could inadvertently make her a zombie.

And Mel is equally determined to prove to her BFF that Francis is no good, braving the city's vampire district and kissing a cute boy raised by vampires as she searches evidence in this touching and comic novel.

From the Back Cover:

Just because Mel lives in a city founded by vampires, doesn't mean she knows any of the blood-drinking undead personally. But when her best friend falls in love with one, it's up to Mel to save her from a mistake she might regret for all eternity! Add in a mysterious disappearance, a cranky vampire cop, a number of unlikely romantic entanglements, and the occasional zombie, and soon Mel is hip-deep in an adventure that is equal parts hilarious and poignant.
