Giveaway: Nyx in the House of Night [CLOSED]

Cast and Kristin Cast have crafted a vampire world based around the worship...

What kills them? Are they inherently evil? Are they just utterly sexy? With so many variations, we couldn’t resist asking which author writes your favorite vampire? We asked first on Twitter, (slightly) narrowed down the...
