    Vamp Modeling Inc. just held its annual model search, looking for the perfect girls to live up to the company’s
    already high reputation. Thousands had tried out in various cities but only some of them had made it, and among
    them are three girls that stand out the most. All three know very little about the fashion industry, but they do know
    that they are about to enter into a world, or two, that is going to change their lives forever.

    Olivia couldn’t believe that she was actually chosen to be one of Vamps’ models; all she did was send in a picture of
    herself. And now she is on her way to the Big Apple, as are the other girls who were chosen. All of it was so
    overwhelming, with all the paparazzi and photo shoots. And it became even more surreal when Olivia found herself
    in the tabloids. It’s a good thing that her boyfriend, Damien, supports her, even if he is still living in Texas.

    Veronika is the one model chosen that definitely stands out, just because she was the only plus-size one. Veronika
    had never been ashamed of the way she looked and was so glad that she could become a model just the way she
    was. Beating out all of those mean girls who thought she could never make it, back in Ohio, was just icing on the
    cake.

    Sydney is far from being a bad girl, but she sure is labeled as one. Maybe it’s her blue hair and nose ring that gives
    Sydney the bad girl vibe, but it was never like this. Sydney used to be the girl next door type, but when her father
    decided to leave the family behind for his girlfriend, the good girl gig was off. But Sydney only did this to get back at
    her father; unfortunately, he wasn’t as fazed as she wanted him to be. Going to New York was the perfect
    opportunity to possibly have her father notice her again, and maybe get him to come back.

    All three girls came to New York for the exciting experience. But the one thing they didn’t know was that this
    experience had an ulterior motive. Who would have thought that Vamp Modeling Inc. really wanted to preserve the
    girls’ looks forever by changing them into vampires? The name of the company itself seemed like an (un)dead
    giveaway. Being able to party all night long and never get tired did sweeten the deal a little, but for Olivia, Veronika,
    and Sydney, it may just get a little old.

    Julie Kenner, Johanna Edwards, and Serena Robar are no strangers to the supernatural world, and the stories that
    they each provide in this very funny novel are both memorable and worth the read. Who knew that being a vampire
    model could be so much work? Fans of the authors’ previous works and the vampire genre as a whole will not be
    disappointed with FENDI, FERRAGAMO, & FANGS.
