Jael is just an average teenage girl with over-protective parents, an unrequited crush on the hottest guy at school, and a best friend she shares everything with. Until her parents let her in on the secret they’ve kept for nearly sixteen years… Jael is the Chosen One. Born to be a vampire slayer, her destiny was written in the Book of the Shunned. She's been chosen by God to set the Minnesota Loon Lake Amish community free from the grip of the Bishop, an ancient and powerful bloodsucker who has been using the Amish people for his own personal Jamba Juice. Will she leave her friends and all she knows and follow her destiny to Minnesota willingly, or will the Bishop bring her destiny to Sunburn, Nevada? *CHOSEN HAS BEEN OPTIONED!* ~ I've optioned the film rights for the Amish Bloodsuckers Trilogy to Screenwriter Lee Tidball, who will be adapting its first book, CHOSEN, into a screenplay that he and his Hollywood representative will market to production companies and studios. Lee's scripts have been optioned three times now by various Hollywood entities, and his work has also garnered numerous recognitions in major international screenwriting competitions. He was drawn to the Amish Bloodsuckers Trilogy because of its dynamic YA characters and fresh, highly unique take on the ever-popular vampire tale." ~

Loon Lake is not the Amish Paradise many believe it to be. The Bishop is growing his vampire army by leaps and bounds, feeding on the naturally rebellious teenage population. Jael tries to keep one step ahead of the undead and their schemes and maintain a semi-normal life, but living Amish while still being considered an outsider is beginning to wear on her. With old friends in town for the summer and a boyfriend as loyal as Captain America, Jael is never short of help. The problem is, slaying vamps alongside the people she loves can be a dangerous combination. Experience tells her to keep them away, but sometimes destiny weaves certain people together and there's no separation from the bonds of love. Ever darkening clouds are rolling over Loon Lake. Will Jael fulfill her destiny or fall into the Bishop's trap?

What readers are saying: "Author Barbara Ellen Brink simply created the freshest, coolest, most fun bend on the YA vampire tale I've read in years. With obvious homage to the original "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer," this riveting, action-packed, vamp-rocking romp is a unique breath of fresh air unlike any of the myriad copy-cat vampire series currently populating the YA section of your average Barnes and Noble--and so much more..." ~~ "I don't normally like vampire books. But this isn't about vampires--it's about a vampire slayer. Not only that, it's captivating, exciting, and well-written!" ~~ "The author writes a compelling action, adventure yarn with an improbable premise: Amish vampires and the Chosen, an Amish girl destined to fight these extraordinary nightmares." ~~ "This book didn't disappoint. It had a strong, tough heroine who struggled between her calling and the desire to just be a normal girl, it had butt-kicking action scenes, and it had the kind of quotable lines we got when Buffy was at her snarky best. It had a thread of wry humor that ran throughout the book and nicely balanced out the drama and suspense that kept me reading late into the night."
