Eliza and Charlie Chamberlain were best friends until he decided to abandon her and become the most popular (i.e., worst) guy in school. Now he can’t be within a five-metre radius of Eliza without taking the piss out of her Vampire Falls obsession. A TV show that he used to watch with her. Religiously. But Eliza can rejoice in her happy place: the annual Vampire Falls convention where she and superfan bestie, Roxy, can enjoy a weekend of guest Q&As and cosplay, safe from the judgement of others who just don’t understand their passion. Or that’s what she thinks, until guess-who shows up chaperoning his little sister. Not only that, but Eliza finds herself pitted against Charlie Chamberlain’s team in a once in a lifetime opportunity. Eliza and Roxy join forces with a feisty pensioner and a mysterious (possibly hot) guy in a werewolf costume to win the ultimate prize: an all-expenses paid trip to San Diego Comic Con.
