Lenah Beaudonte is, in many ways, your average teen: the new girl at Wickham Boarding School, she struggles to fit in enough to survive and stand out enough to catch the eye of the golden-boy lacrosse captain. But Lenah also just happens to be a recovering five-hundred-year-old vampire queen. After centuries of terrorizing Europe, Lenah is able to realize the dream all vampires have -- to be human again. After performing a dangerous ritual to restore her humanity, Lenah entered a century-long hibernation, leaving behind the wicked coven she ruled over and the eternal love who has helped grant her deep-seated wish.

Until, that is, Lenah draws her first natural breath in centuries at Wickham and rediscovers a human life that bears little resemblance to the one she had known. As if suddenly becoming a teenager weren?t stressful enough, each passing hour brings Lenah closer to the moment when her abandoned coven will open the crypt where she should be sleeping and find her gone. As her borrowed days slip by, Lenah resolves to live her newfound life as fully as she can. But, to do so, she must answer ominous questions: Can an ex-vampire survive in an alien time and place? What can Lenah do to protect her new friends from the bloodthirsty menace about to descend upon them? And how is she ever going to pass her biology midterm?


Review by Jessica
INFINITE DAYS, by Rebecca Maizel is everything a good vampire story should be, with rivalries, adventure, love, danger, and action! In a world where vampires don't burn in the sun, Maizel has brought back the age old traditions of vampires and she did an outstanding job.

I absolutely LOVED the concept of this novel! Lenah wants to be a human again, after centuries of being a vampire queen. She gets her wish soon enough, and she has to adapt to a new century, in a new place. Tragedy slams her as soon as she awakens from her century long slumber, and she has no one to introduce her to this new world. I loved that Lenah's transition was not easy and Maizel really captured Lenah's emotions and reactions to her new world.

I really liked that Lenah wasn't this helpless human girl that falls in love with the vampire guy! That made the story so unique to me with what the vampire world has turned into, frilly vampires and helpless teenage girls. Lenah is strong in every way and on top of it she has a big heart!

When her old vampire coven comes looking for her when they don't find her asleep in her tomb and thats when things REALLY pick up! Vengeful vampires?! Yes! Lenah will do anything to protect her newfound love and best friend, but also worries, she is no longer a vampire and she must find other ways to protect the ones she loves.

I didn't think there was a dull moment in this book. It is absolutely breathtaking and I am counting the days until the next one comes out!
