The Devil may wear Prada, but real fashion taste is in the blood…

When Kate is offered an internship at top fashion mag Tasty, everyone tells her she’s the luckiest girl alive. But Kate’s not so sure. Her follow interns are bitchy, her superiors are backstabbing, and she’s constantly getting it in the neck from her boss.

Then people start to go missing, and Kate starts to really worry. Why is everyone condescending, black-clad and emaciated? Doesn’t anyone sleep? What’s with the sharp teeth? Are they… vampires?

Armed with a stake, a crucifix, and James the cute photo assistant, Kate sets off for a showdown – only to realise that she’s more out of her depth than a homeless person in Hermes. Starting your first job may be difficult, but working at Tasty is draining. Literally…

WHAT WE THOUGHT

Vampire chick lits are the new generation of light reading. Traditional romances will always have their place, but these vampires are dark, sexy and well dressed.

“Blood Is The New Black” has a focus on fashion and bloodlust. It has a similar feel to the creepy childhood favourite “The Witches” by Road Dahl, but girlier and for women with a love of all things fashion.

The story revolves around Kate a stylish young woman who gets offered an internship at Tasty Magazine.

The events that follow become twisted and unusual as Kate soon discovers the magazine is run by vampires. Eternal youth in stilettos, a deliciously wicked read.
