The Rough Plot of the Book

So the basic plot is going to be that Karson, the main character, gets pissed at her parents for going on vacation without her. She decides that since they get to have fun, so should she; so she takes off for France. In Paris, she meets Jack. Jack is a vampire. They spend a few days together, and after awile they "fall in love." Jack tells Karson that he is a vampire and that he loves her and wants to be with her forever. She tells him that she wants the same thing, he turns her into a vampire (which is going to be the scene from the preface). This seems like it would be perfect and that they will be the next Bella and Edward, but all good books need an epic twist, the next morning, Jack leaves Karson all alone in their Paris hotel room. She is now a vampire and has no idea what to do. She finds herself thirsty as all vampires do but she tries to ignore it. She turns on the tv and theres a news story on this person who says that vampires are real and that he has invented an antidote to vampirism. The reporter obviously thinks he's insane but doesn't bring it up. The guy then goes on to say that he was once a vampire but he used the antidote and has returned to his human state. Karson immediatly decides to find this guy. Along the way she meets Issac, another vampire. Karson tells Issac of her issue and that she is trying to find the antidote guy. He goes along with her even though he doesn't want to be a human again. They end up falling in love, and once they find the guy, Karson has to decide if she wants to be human again to be with her family or stay a vampire with her one true love.

That is just the rough plot. I came up with it while we were driving to the store. I haven't worked all of the bugs quite yet but most books don't this early. lol

My book preface

Lying there, on a bed of downy feathers and memory foam mattresses, him towering over my weak, nearly lifeless body. His lips leaving my neck where his teeth had just left their small puncture wounds, a slight trickle of blood, slowly running down, both my neck and his mouth. The edges of his lips raise up in a thoughtful smile. I almost reach unconsciousness, not wanting to drift and let the darkness take me away from his beautiful face. His finger raises up to touch my face and finally reaching their resting place on my lips. “Shh, it will all be fine in the morning,” he whispered softly. My eyes close but I yet again jerk them back open; his hands reach up and close my eye lids. I finally give into the darkness, my only hope, to see his face once more after the darkness engulfs me.

In the comments, please give feedback. I need to hear what yall think, so that it gives me an idea of how the public will react to it if it ever does get published. Thanks!
