Veronica's Sunset is told by the witty, eighteen-year-old Veronica Cheung, a Chinese American vampire from San Francisco. Yes, she has a modified diet of raw meat and animal blood. Yes, she has gifts like superspeed and superstrength. But no, she is not a ridiculously good-looking white girl who sparkles in the sun.

A vampire's ultimate purpose is to serve human beings, and Veronica's vampire family believes the best way to do that is by becoming a doctor.Failing to follow the rules will inevitably result in a prison sentence by the International Vampire Council, and of course, becoming the subject of her nosy family's gossip.
