Publisher Description
Grab your stakes and your rock salt. Monster hunting class is in session.
Liam Hunter has warded off hungry vampires, slayed monstrous beasts, and put agonized spirits to rest since he could hold a stake. When trouble comes through the Hunterland message board, alerting them that nurses are dying at high schools across Wisconsin in a string of fishy “suicides,” the Hunter family hits the road to save the day.
The trail leads to Falkville Falls, where Liam clashes with Olivia Davis, whose maddening family seems inexplicably embroiled in this haunting mess. Olivia has always mothered her little sister, Pepper. But when the Hunter family opens her eyes to the hidden underworld of real monsters prowling the dark, she realizes she can’t protect Pepper from this newest threat by herself. Can the two families work together to uncover who or what is responsible before the next murder, or will this vicious death cycle have no end?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Claire's action-driven supernatural debut follows 18-year-old Olivia Davis and her family, who are abruptly thrust into a world of ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and more. When several mysterious deaths by hanging bring acerbic 18-year-old Liam Hunter and his family of monster slayers to her small town of Falkville Falls, Liv and Liam immediately butt heads; it doesn't matter that Liam saved Liv's 14-year-old troublemaking sister, Pepper, from a frightening creature. Forced by her town sheriff father to work with the Hunter family and ensure Falkville Falls' survival, Liv struggles to come to terms with her father's and Pepper's secretive natures, and her growing feelings for Liam amid preternatural strife. Several plot points feel underdeveloped, including lore surrounding enigmatic serum shots containing a magic drug that "heightened our senses, gave us super strength, and quickened our reflexes." Liv and Liam's alternating perspectives construct an intriguing mystery that uncovers a deeper connection between the Davis family and the deaths, along with a greater conflict that leaves even the terrifying supernatural monsters on edge. It's a satisfactory addition to the meta of fast-paced paranormal adventures. Main characters default to white. Ages 13–up.
