Warrenna and her family have just arrived in a small desert town around twenty miles from nowhere.  She doesn’t know anyone at her new high school, but that’s the least of her problems.
  
    Warrenna just found out that her parents are vampires...and so is she.
  
    Her family undergoes a grueling ritual to preserve their remaining humanity and keep their blood cravings at bay.  They must live
in total secrecy, even as they try to protect oblivious humans from the growing vampire threat.
   
    But there’s hope on the horizon.  His name is Thomas, and he wonders why he feels so sad around the strange new girl.
And why do Warrenna’s paintings seem to come straight from his dreams?
   
Can Thomas somehow help Warrenna fight her awful condition?  Could he really be The Cure for the Curse?

A Fresh Twist of Vampire Lore

Patrick Vaughn storms onto the glutted vampire scene with a fresh interpretation guaranteed to grab young paranormal fans by the collar. His development of Warrenna's character reflects not only typical teen concerns, but he manages to blend it well with her unique issues…the character of Thomas is the sort of enjoyable innocent that provides a nice counter to Warrenna's darkness. Vaughn also creates a believable atmosphere in the small desert-town setting.
This will be a fun read for fans of paranormal fiction. Although aimed for the YA market, many adults will enjoy this book as well.  4½ out of 5.

The Cure For The Curse is part romance, part fantasy and part thriller and it adds up to a fast paced exciting read.  I wish there had been more books like this written when I was a teenager myself.  4 out of 5.

Warenna is a typical teenager in many ways. In one very big way, she's not. She's always known she was different, but there's a little bit more to it. She's a vampire--and her parents just told her.

A group of vampire victims, including Warenna's family, fight to retain as much of their humanity for as long as they possibly can. Their mission is threefold: to help each other keep from turning completely into vampires; to kill those who have; and to find a cure for their curse.

Warenna profoundly affects a "Norm." But is there more to Thomas than just another wannabe basketball player? He certainly seems to have at least as great an affect on Warenna as she does on him. Why have these two been brought together?

New author, Patrick Vaughn, presents a story so compelling you must keep reading. Where is he going with this? What will happen next? With style reminiscent of Dekker or Peretti, Vaughn takes us on an elegant ride with both imagination and direction.

Armchair Interviews says: Don't miss this story or this new author.

"Every year or so, I run across a book that totally surprises me. The
Cure for the Curse by Patrick Vaughn is a refeshing, original, and a
very enjoyable tale that well fits that description. Patrick Vaughn uses
a unique plot and a very different mindset when writing on the subject
of Vampires that is interesting, magnetic and captivating. My Highest
Recommendation! Sci Fi at its best!"
