Peeps
by Scott Westerfield
Razorbill, NY 2006
Cal went to New York City to have a normal college experience. But one night after too many Bahamalamadingdongs his life changes forever. Now, if he even kisses a girl he passes on a parasite that turns his crush into a blood craving, flesh eating, rat loving, monster. Cal isn’t a monster, he’s a carrier, and he has to track down all of his ex-girlfriends before they go on murderous rampages throughout the city. The parasite gives Call super human strength and reflexes and will pretty much let him live forever, but the downside is that he can’t ever have a relationship again, or can he? The coolest part of this book is that every other chapter describes real life creepy crawly parasites and informs you that you that even when you think you're alone, you're definitely not.
Bottom Line:
Great twist on the whole vampire thing; major gross out factor; addictive; there's a sequel called The Last Days
