My latest query letter!

As submitted to Query Shark. Whatta great site!

Dear Query Shark,

When Eve’s boyfriend came out of the bloodsucker closet, she decided they could make it work. Her friends were what shook her: vampire hunters, targets of Faerie malevolence, and ghosts.   
Some days it just doesn’t pay to have an open mind.
            Eve is a 20-something English major trying to work her way through college when the supernatural world falls into her lap. Armed with years of supposedly fictional supernatural reading, she tries to find out who turned her boyfriend Jake into a vampire and why. It doesn’t help when her friends reveal they are in hiding after killing Vampires. Or that one is being pursued by a psychotic Faerie who was once a close friend abducted and replaced by the Fae. She lies to save the unknowing and seemingly innocent Faerie clone left in his place, knowing her friends will turn on her if it’s found out.
            Jake’s brother’s murder blows the lid off her lies and destroys what remains of her friendships. Now Eve has to find the answers while trying to hold a group together who hate her guts. Jake has gone AWOL with a batty mentor to find his brother’s killer. She’s on her own.
Too bad her immortal soul isn’t the only one that rides on the answers. If she doesn’t find the real killer, fend off the Fae, and get the group working together, she’s damned to limbo along with Jake's brother and anyone else who get's in the killer's way.
None of her books explained how to get out of being dead.
            NEVERWORLD, 62,000 words, is a supernatural mystery novel. I am currently working on the sequel, and have plans for a third concluding novel.  I have included (whatever the agent asks for) below. Thank you for your time and consideration.
