Strong reader response fueled this companion to the saga of the teenage Blood Lite drinking vampire, Morning McCobb, and his mortal girlfriend, Portia Dredful, the filmmaker who's not afraid to put her neck on the line.

Nearly two years after Suck It Up, all Morning McCobb wants is to complete his training at the New York Fire Academy and to stay head over heels in love with Portia for as long as the chronology-crossed lovers can, given that she's now 18 and he's stalled at 16.

It's nearly the first anniversary of American Out Day, the historic day on which the Leaguer vampires of America began going mainstream without going bloodstream on their fellow mortal citizens.

The tension between Morning's wish for a simple, out-of-the-spotlight life, and Portia's cinematic obsession with historic events escalates to the breaking point when a super-sinister vampire rises from the grave with a powerful thirst, for revenge.
