This is a knock off of Twilight, though with better humor. Human girl moves to small town in Montana, goes to school and meets the Vampires. They fall for each other, after a bit of annoyance on both sides. Other Vampires appear and things go bad. They run, bad things happen, she's rescued and all is kind of well.
