title: Touched by a Vampire: Discovering the Hidden Messages in the Twilight Saga
author:  Beth Felker Jones 
description: <b>Praise for<br /></b><i><b>Touched by a Vampire<br /><br /></b>Like many who care about young adults, Ive puzzled over the recent vampire craze. I applaud <i>Touched by a Vampire for shining<br />its brilliant light into a somewhat dark and mysterious world. Utilizing the existing teen fascination of the Twilight books in order to spark an open discussion about love, life, and faith is both smart and savvy. This thoughtful book is a much needed<br />tool for parents, youth leaders, and teens. <br />MELODY CARLSON, author of the Diary of a<br />Teenage Girl series<br /><br />But Mom, youd <i>like this vampire book. It teaches that true love waits! They knew which pitch to give, and Felker Jones has<br />their number. This book is itself a page-turner, diagnosing vampiric love as meager fare. It turns out true love is not so much<br />about waiting for Mr. Bite, but being abundantly blessed at Gods banquet.<br />AMY LAURA HALL, associate professor of<br />Christian Ethics, Duke University, and author<br />of <i>Conceiving Parenthood and <i>Kierkegaard and<br />the Treachery of Love<br /></i></i></i></i></i>

  ## Harmony had said it wasn’t possible. That moving between worlds required
  intent, in addition to the bean sidhe wail. Did this mean I secretly wanted to
  cross over?
  
  
  
  
  
  If so, I’d certainly been keeping a secret. Even from myself.
  
  
  
  
  
  My immediate concern was getting out of the Netherworld before something
  predatory came along to eat me. And in the Netherworld, that could be
  anything.
  
  
  
  
  
  But when I called forth my wail, nothing came out but a soft, hoarse croak.
  
  
  
  
  
  I’d lost my voice screaming my way into the Netherworld, and now I had no way
  out.
