Peeps by Scott Westerfeld

Cal Thompson is infected with a parasite after a one night stand with a mystery woman. The parasite turns the infected person into "Peeps" (short for parasite positive) they are more commonly known to us as Vampires. While Cal is not physically affected he becomes a carrier. Unfortunately he has infected his previous girlfriends, his job is to find them before they can do any harm. 

This was a book which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was a refreshing new twist on a classic legend that had a lot of thought behind it. I think even those who do not usually enjoy vampire novels could enjoy this as it is not your typical vampire story.
