As a cursed vampire born with no fangs, going to a class called Feeding 101 is pretty much pointless. If you ask me most of our courses in Be Prepared Academy are pointless. They're meant to teach us how to blend in with humans .Even though we live in a realm without humans. But, as fate would have it, I was getting ready to eat those words. A wizard hell bent on misplaced revenge kidnaps me and my friends and sends us with a one-way ticket to Detroit, Michigan to a time when the tension amongst the races is at its highest. And having to deal with race issues is the one thing that has never even been so much as a thought to any of us, and is the one course not on the roster. Will everything we've learned in the academy be enough to keep us alive? What will we all do when racism stares us in the face? Most importantly, how will we get back home? Guess we're about to find out.
