Rule of Vampire by Duncan McGeary

Jamie is on the run. Nobody taught her how to be a vampire; no one told her the Rules of Vampire. How was she supposed to know her limits? Now the vampire hunters want her dead, and the Council of Vampires is looking for her, too.  Every human Jamie bites becomes a vampire, and the feral Wilderings she creates are rampaging through the town of Crescent City. To stop this infestation, the legendary Terrill joins forces with the Vampire Council and confronts the danger. But something unexpected happens along the way. Terrill becomes the first of a new breed—a golden Vampire who can walk in the sunlight.  If you like your undead to be more Fright Night than Twilight, Duncan McGearys Vampire Evolution Trilogy will be your cup of gore. ~ Steve Perry, New York Times Bestselling Author of Men in Black, The Mask, and Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire
