THEN JOIN THE DEAD. <p>When Annelise left for college, it meant good riddance to her abusive father and stepmother-until a bureaucratic screw-up left her without a diploma, flat broke, and facing an uncertain future. Then she met Ronan-tall, dark, and way too seductive for her own good. He promised Annelise a new life, if she had the courage to chance the unknown. One look at him and she certainly had the desire. Sure enough, accepting rides from strangers does yield surprises. <p>Whisked away to a mysterious island in the North Sea, Annelise is pitted against other female recruits in tests of skill, smarts, and strength. To win is to become a member of the Watchers, an elite and unique partnership-with vampires-that dispatches its teams on the most dangerous missions imaginable. It's not exactly what Annelise had in mind for a new beginning but it's livelier than the alternative. Because on the Isle of Night, to lose the challenge doesn't just mean dishonor. It means death. <p><em>Let the games begin. <p>WINNER OF THE NATIONAL READERS' CHOICE AWARD <p>"Isle of Awesome.
