SERVAMP Series by Strike Tanaka

A Vampire Cat Serves Only One MasterWhen a stray black cat named Kuro crosses Shirota Mahiru's path, the high school freshman's life will never be the same again. Kuro is, in fact, no ordinary feline, but a servamp: a servant vampire. While Mahiru's personal philosophy is laissez-faire, he soon becomes embroiled in an ancient, altogether surreal war between vampires and humans.

What happens when you adopt a vampire cat? Shirota Mahiru's formerly simple life now includes a cast of real crazies. He meets more Servamps and their masters and even acquires his very own weapon. But when he discovers the shocking truth about an old friend, his world quickly spins out of control. Who can Mahiru really trust? Will Kuro help him solve the mystery?

School's out for the summer, but fifteen-year-old Shirota Mahiru has no time to kick back. Not while the clock is ticking on the verge of a Servamp war! He and Kuro have more questions than answers, especially about the secret group known as C3. But one thing is dead certain: the evil Tsubaki is still a homicidal monster with Shirota and Kuro in his sights.

Shiroto Mahiru has one clear mission: to protect good people from harm. But his friend Arisuin Misono isn't really in your typical sort of danger. He's trapped in the overprotective safety net of his helicopter dad. Can Mahiru help him escape? Or will Misono remain a prisoner in his own house filled with secrets and lies?

Shirota Mahiru and his battle-weary allies are planning their next move for taking down Tsubaki. Meanwhile the city is abuzz over a famous pianist. To the world he's "The Angel of Music," but this musician's attitude is as prickly as his hedgehog companion. When Tsubaki dispatches a servant to go after these newcomers, can Mahiru and Kuro intervene in time?

WHEN BLOOD STARTS TO BOILKuro has never been the most enthusiastic of vampires, preferring to eat chips and lounge about rather than combat Tsubaki and his servants. But something changed after Lawless appeared, and now Kuro's past is catching up with him faster than he and Mahiru can possibly outrun it. Is the bond between Servamp and Eve enough to overcome this newest trial, or has the unlikeliest of duos finally met their match...?

WHAT'S IN A NAME?With Mahiru and Kuro still recovering, Misono sets a plan into motion to rescue Licht and his Servamp Lawless from the clutches of Tsubaki. But it turns out the biggest threats to the mission's success are the prisoners themselves, as Licht and Lawless begin fighting each other! Just what is Lawless' history with Eves and what does it mean for the future of his most recent acquisition?

LINES HAVE BEEN DRAWNHaving rescued Licht and Lawless from Tsubaki, it's all hands on deck for the confrontation they've been waiting for. Mahiru, Kuro, and their friends are prepared to face the eighth Servamp and stop his reign of terror over other vampires. That is, until new faces appear on scene! Who are these newest players in the war against Tsubaki and just whose side are they on...?
