Publisher Description
The first in the delicious new Vampire Queen YA series, a tale that rewrites the rules of blood-sucking eternity
"I never expected to be sixteen again...then again, I never expected my past to come back and haunt me . . ."
After centuries of terrorizing Europe as the world's most powerful vampire queen, Lenah is finally 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, Rhode, who sacrificed himself in the ritual to grant her deepest wish.
But when Lenah draws her first natural breath in centuries at Wickham Boarding School in Lover's Bay, Massachusetts, she rediscovers a human life that bears little resemblance to the one she had known. As if suddenly waking up a teenager isn't hard enough, she has to dress herself appropriately, go to class, and be gawked at as the beautiful new girl, all while learning her new human senses and weaknesses -- and trying not to fall in love with Justin, the most popular guy in school.
And right when she thinks she has the hang of it, the worst happens: Her old life collides violently with her new one, making Lenah realize how attached she's become to her humanity. How can she choose between protecting her new friends and honoring her past?
“Infinite Days is a wonderfully sexy, dark novel full of lush prose. Rebecca Maizel is a marvel, writing more than just a story, she creates myth with every page.” —Carrie Jones, author of New York Times bestselling series, NEED
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Maizel s dark and dreamy debut reverses the vampire trend with a heroine whose heart s desire is to regain her humanity and abandon her evil past. After more than 500 years as the queen of her English coven, perpetual 15-year-old Lenah finally has her chance to become human again when her vampire sire sacrifices himself for the necessary ritual. Determined to live her new days to the fullest before her coven finds and kills her for her betrayal, Lenah explores American teenage life at a boarding school in Massachusetts with best friend Tony and boyfriend Justin. Eventually discovered, abducted, and remade as a vampire, Lenah retains her soul and becomes something entirely new a compassionate vampire with unexpected powers who can bridge the worlds. She returns to school and her friends, but the coven isn t far behind, and they aren t interested in mercy. Maizel s lustrous style is occasionally uneven, but the captivating characters and intriguing story easily overcome the slight flaws. Vampire fans or not, readers will find a lot to enjoy in this exploration of the power of intent, desire, love, and sacrifice. Ages 12 up.

I love this book, I thought it would be another one of those corny vampire books but this is so ....different.
Amazing
Ok so when I first picked up the book I said this maybe a ok book, Don't think I will like it though. I was completely wrong! This is a great book about love and struggles. Lenah is challenged with saying goodbye to 2 men that she loves but gain a another that she truly also is worthy. This is a book that will keep you guessing. And the end,...EPIC! Can't wait to read the second book, Stolen Nights, which is out now. One of the best vampire stories I've read yet.
