Book #1 in 2013
Peeps
by Scott Westerfeld
"Last year as college
freshman, narrator Cal was infected by exotic goth Morgan with a
parasite that caused following girlfriends to become vampire-like ghouls
he calls parasite-positives "Peeps". A carrier without symptoms, he
hunts his progeny for the centuries old bureaucratic Night Watch. But
victims are showing more sanity, pretty human Lacey is pushing his
buttons, and her apartment building basement houses fierce hordes of
ravening rats, red-eyed cats, and monstrous worms that threaten all.
Morgan has the secret to a centuries-old conspiracy and upcoming battle
to save the human race."

Notes:
I now know more about parasites than I ever cared to know, and in general I am just extremely angry about this book.
YOU LET ME DOWN, SCOTT WESTERFELD.
and the eye on the cover freaks me out and you can't even turn it over to make it stop watching you because there is an eye on the back as well. Really angry.
