Japan is the land of the rising sun. Great place for a vampire. But that’s exactly where I have to go to find my missing soul. A few weeks ago I was, briefly, turned back into a vampire, which meant that I lost my soul for a day. When I first lost my vampirity, my soul came back. For reasons I don’t understand, this time it didn’t. What’s a girl to do? Go look for it, of course. The only problem is that my soul is being held hostage … in Japan. Why couldn’t it have been the mall? My name is Katrina Darling—ex-vampire, newly re-human-ated university student—and I’m about to max out my credit cards on plane tickets.
