The Morganville Vampires, book 9, paperback 

Discover the Enigmatic Charm of Morganville, Texas: A Unique Blend of College Life and Mystical Creatures

Nestled deep in the heart of Texas, Morganville is a quaint college town where laid-back students and quirky locals coexist with beings you’d rather avoid after dark. Despite their differences, the human and vampire residents of Morganville have found a way to live together in harmony. However, genius student Claire Danvers remains vigilant, knowing that in Morganville, nothing is ever as it seems.

As Claire develops a groundbreaking system to bolster the town’s defenses, she uncovers a method to harness the vampires’ powers, preventing outsiders from exposing Morganville’s secret once they cross the city limits. 

But this innovative system brings unforeseen and potentially lethal consequences: residents start forgetting who they are, including the vampires. When Claire’s boyfriend, Shane, and her best friend, Eve, begin to treat her like a stranger, Claire realizes she must shut down her experiment before she, too, forgets how to save herself—and Morganville.
