Charissa Dufour (Book 1 of The Series That Just Plain Sucks)

Vampire-romance novelist Ashley Hawn was living her dream. By day, she worked as a clerk at a local grocery store, and by night, she immersed herself in the imaginary world of sexy vampires, shirtless men, and endless parties. Life was good for Ashley, with her writing, her best friends Chloe and Jordan, and her mysterious and sexy boyfriend, Isaac. However, her whole world changed in a flash when she discovered herself turned into a vampire.

Struggling with her newfound vampiric identity, Ashley quickly found that life as a vampire was far from the glamorous and carefree existence she had imagined. Instead of endless parties and shirtless men, she found herself running for her life, constantly evading the attacks of every mythological creature in the area. The sexy and mysterious Isaac, whom she had thought to be her boyfriend, had turned out to be something else entirely, leaving her to navigate this new and dangerous world on her own.

As Ashley grappled with the reality of her transformation, she was forced to confront the stark contrast between the romanticized version of vampirism she had portrayed in her novels and the harsh realities of her newfound existence. The constant threat of danger and the need to constantly be on the alert took a toll on her, and she found herself longing for the simpler days of working at the grocery store and indulging in her vivid imagination.

Despite the challenges, Ashley refused to give up. Drawing strength from her best friends, Chloe and Jordan, and her own determination, she set out to understand her new abilities and find a way to coexist with the other mythological creatures in her area. It was a steep learning curve, filled with mistakes and close calls, but Ashley's resilience and adaptability slowly began to shine through.

As she navigated this new chapter of her life, Ashley's writing took on a new depth and authenticity. The experiences she had endured as a vampire-in-training gave her a unique perspective that she channeled into her work, transforming her once-romanticized vampire tales into gripping, realistic narratives that captivated her readers.

In the end, Ashley's journey as a vampire-romance novelist-turned-vampire herself was a testament to the power of resilience, adaptation, and the unwavering support of true friends. Though the road was arduous, she emerged stronger, wiser, and more in tune with the complexities of the world she had once only imagined. This finished series, a reflection of Ashley's own transformation, stood as a testament to the resilience of the human (or vampire) spirit.
