So does that make Ms. Mormon Sparkle Vamp a hero?"" Of a sort. Before they started to sparkle, there were a lot of vamps who were tortured antiheroes, thanks to Rice and Whedon."Ree grimaced. "Do you know if she was clued in?" Eastwood shrugged. "She's very secretive, no one in the Underground has been able to say for sure. It's all rumor. My guess is she lost someone to a vampire and decided the greatest revenge she could inflict was to turn them into a laughing stock. Michael R. Underwood

But all the time, every minute of it, a victim would be wishing for death Stephenie Meyer
