Morning McCobb is not your ordinary vampire. In fact, he was never supposed to be turned into a vampire in the first place. So he isn't beautiful like the other vampires, and he prefers soy blood to the real thing. Because Morning is so non-threatening, he is the perfect choice to be the first vampire to reveal himself to regular humans--a first step in the plan for all vampires to live openly without inspiring fear. But will Morning be able to resist temptation once he's out in the real world?

Suck It Up provides a bit of comic relief in the wildly popular vampire genre. Readers who can't resist an underdog will enjoy the story of Morning McCobb, the first vampire to officially come out to the world at large. All Morning ever wanted before he was "turned" was to become a firefighter. The promise of being able to live his human dream inspires Morning to become an unlikely hero and overnight celebrity. This wholesome read even involves a bit of romance, and Morning fights his vampire urges as he develops feelings for his love interest, Portia. Language is relatively mild and infrequent (wh-re, a-s, sh-t, b-tch). Fans can follow Morning's adventures in the sequel, Suck It Up And Die.
