Dru Anderson has what her grandmother called “the touch.” (Comes in handy when you’re traveling from town to town with your dad, hunting ghosts, suckers, wulfen, and the occasional zombie.) Then her dad turns up dead—but still walking—and Dru knows she’s next. Even worse, she’s got two guys hungry for her affections, and they’re not about to let the fiercely independent Dru go it alone. Will Dru discover just how special she really is before coming face-to-fang with whatever—or whoever — is hunting her?

Characters/People edit see section history

  • Dru Anderson: The main character and a kick-butt heroine. She is not very quick to trust, but with the life she's lived, you can't help but sympathize with her.
  • Dwight Anderson: Dru's dad. He's a monster hunter who drags his daughter from town to town every couple of months. He keeps to himself and is bent on killing what goes bump in the night.
  • Dru's Mom: A woman who is dead throughout the entire book, but stays in it because of a secret she kept from her daughter. She meant a lot to Dru, though she died when her daughter was only 5.
  • Gran: Dru's paternal grandmother. She helped raise Dru and is a big influence in Dru's life.
  • Graves: The half-Asian boy who sits in front of Dru in class, who she secretly nicknamed 'Goth Boy,' and turns into be her best friend.
  • Christophe Reynard: A djamphir.
  • Sergej: The villain of the story. One of the oldest vampires alive.
