Sophie, Sam, and Hannah

Chapter 19 is here to hurt you in the most specific, heartbreaking way possible.

Chapter 13 shines bright like a diamond (or a vampire) with Twilight's iconic meadow scene. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss what mineral vampire skin is made of, the neuroscience of multitasking, and, to Hannah's delight, how Formula 1 relates to vampires.
