The Reformed Vampire Support Group by Catherine Jinks
Everything you've read about vampires is wrong. Real vampires have serious health issues, suck blood from guinea pigs, and attend mandatory support groups. After one of their group gets staked by a zealot, the rest go on high alert. There is action, drama and a sweet relationship between Nina, a teen vampire and another vampire in her group.

January 2010
In this gripping young adult novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to our present, the nation of Panem consists of a shining Capital surrounded by twelve outlying Districts, in the ruins of the area once known as North America. Sixteen-year-old Katniss and her friend Gale forage for food in the woods surrounding their impoverished District, in this stratified society where the Capital controls all resources. The main support for both their families, Katniss and Gale are apprehensive of the approaching annual Reaping, when two “tributes” between the ages of 12 and 18 will be chosen by lottery from each of the 12 districts to compete in The Hunger Games, a survival contest on live TV in which teenagers fight to the death and there can be only one victor.
CATCHING FIRE by Suzanne Collins(Science Fiction/Fantasy)
In the sequel to THE HUNGER GAMES, the President announces plans for the Quarter Quell, the 75th anniversary Games. Every 25 years the Capitol devises a new twist for the reaping, and this year they announce that the tributes will be chosen from among the victors of previous Games, ensuring friends and foes will once again face each other with grim consequences likely. All the while, a rebellion brews to end the tyranny.
