Annalise is barley 18 and she's sick, really sick.  She has fought Leukemia before but after going into remission three times it's highly unlikely that she will beat the battle again. When she finds herself alone with no family and no way to pay for doctor or hospital bills she believes that her time is up and her battle is finally lost.  When she's approached by a vampire and asked to become a teacher for his "children" to help them become updated on the changes in the world it's more than she could ever hope for.  She finds herself in the company of people that she never knew existed but that she's come to see as family.Arthur has been asleep for a thousand years and when he finally awakes he's lost, confused and very depressed.  He didn't want to be a vampire when he went to sleep and now that he's awake again with all of the changes, he really isn't happy.  Everything has changed, nothing is the same, even the way that his family talks is different.  His family hires Annalise to help Arthur understand the changes that have happened in the world.  Both now in a place that don't want to be, it's the one thing that they have in common and the newfound friendship wasn't something that they ever expected. But Annalise is running out of time, can she teach Arthur that today's world isn't all that bad before her time runs out?This is a different spin on the vampire way of life.  The can eat, drink, and be out in the sun so vampires blend right in with the world today with the exception of when they are behind on the current technology and ways of today's life which is where Annalise came in.  I found the actual story itself good however because it is only a novella some of it seems a little rushed at times but you still get enough of the main characters to fall in love with them.
