ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Because this book is the longest I’ve written to date, I’ll keep my thank-yous short and sweet. My endless appreciation goes out to my incredible editor, Ed Schlesinger—without you, this novel would be a wretched, unreadable mess. To my awesome agent, David Hale Smith—where would I be without you . . . other than in a gutter filled with angsty writer’s tears? To my best friend and husband, Will—thanks for agreeing to move to the Pacific Northwest with me so that I can finally fulfill my dream of becoming a day-walking vampire. Who needs SPF when you’ve got rain? And, as always, to my incredible readers—you never cease to amaze me with your constant kindness, enthusiasm, and encouragement. I will continue to write as long as you continue to indulge my weird imagination.
