Thrilling and hilarious, fantasy author Nigel Henry introduces readers to the feisty and foul-mouthed Ria Miller in a tale that blends the action of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Supernatural with the humor of Modern Family and Family Matters.
***
My name is Ria Miller. I'm just your average seventeen-year-old New York City high school senior, except for one little detail: my parents and I hunt monsters.
We take the cases the police don't believe, and we're the ones who keep you alive when the things that go bump in the night get hungry.
Kids at a high school for gifted students are vanishing, and the cops are stumped. The only way to find out what's behind the disappearances is for someone to go undercover as a new student. Guess who my parents volunteered for the job?
Now I've got to survive a new school and figure out who is taking students before they strike again.
Jealous ex-boyfriend? Principal? Jerky popular girl? Someone in this building is lying, and I'm going to find them.
But whoever — or whatever — is behind the disappearances is willing to kill to keep their secret. If I'm not careful, I might be the next victim.
