Infinite Days by Rebecca Maizel started out making me think that it would be one of those horribly cliched reformed-vampire-falls-in-love-with-a-mortal type stories. In a way, it was. Lenah and Rhode are both really old and powerful vampires. Lenah really wants to be human again, so Rhode sacrifices himself in order to grant her desperate wish. In order to protect her from her coven of vampires that will want to kill her now that she is human, Rhode sets it up so that Lenah can attend this fancy boarding school in New England. There, she meets the obligitory mortal studmuffin that she can't help but feel drawn to. Things get complicated when her coven tracks her down, and she must find some way to protect her newly-mortal self and her originally mortal boyfriend. Despite the cliches and all that, the plot was well delivered, and the flashbacks to Lenah's life as a cruel, heartless vampire kept things interesting. I also loved Tony, the Asian art nerd that befriends Lenah at school. The new elements added to the old cliches made this a good read for when you're feeling sappy.
