Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process

Juliet Capulet has a problem. She's about to turn sixteen, which means she's on the brink of becoming a full-fledged vampire like the rest of her clan, but doing so entails killing and draining an innocent human- something the newly crowned Prince Radu has expressly forbidden after decades of violence between the undead Capulets and vampire-slaying Montagues.
If she doesn't, however, she'll die. Naturally, this makes things even more difficult when she meets Romeo Montague at a ball intended to introduce her to the vampire Count Paris, whom her parents intend to marry her off to. It's love at first sight for both fledgling vampire and slayer-in-training.
Romeo and Juliet marry in secret, but Juliet's transformation is already beginning and her bloodthirsty family have other plans for Romeo- and indeed, all of humanity. What's a girl to do?

* AndIMustScream: Juliet is conscious during the time she appears dead thanks to Friar Laurence's potion, unlike in Shakespeare.
* BodyHorror: Juliet's gradual transformation.

* ALighterShadeOfGray: It's hard to see the Montagues as anywhere ''near'' as bad as the Capulets in this one, as Juliet appears to be the only one who's not AlwaysChaoticEvil. A family beloved by the other mortals of Transylvania for destroying monsters intending on enslaving humanity? That makes them straight-up ''heroes''.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: They reproduce with live births, who live as ordinary humans until they turn 16, when they must kill and feed on a mortal or die. Once transformed, they remain young, but have red eyes, prominent fangs, clawlike hands, monstrous tongues, no reflections, and the ability to levitate.
