Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets The Witchlings in a hilarious, heartfelt story about a reluctant vampire slayer… and her vampire best friend.
Maggie Helsby isn’t afraid of much. But one thing that terrifies her is trying to fit in.
When she moves to the small town of Goreway, she’s eager to shed her old reputation as the weird horror nerd who scares the other kids at school. This time it’ll be different. The only problem is that she’s moved into a spooky house at the edge of Skeleton Woods, gifted to her parents by a mysterious great uncle she never knew. She can’t resist exploring it before the townspeople tear down the forest and build a golf course, even if her new friends are too scared to follow her…
What she finds is Skeleton Lodge, the headquarters of a secret coven of vampires, their evil leader Count Bloodthirst, and a young vampire named Sharptooth Shadow who SWEARS she’s a vegetarian. She might just be the friend Maggie’s been dying to meet! But when Maggie discovers that she descends from a long line of vampire slayers, can she and Sharptooth overcome their history and save the forest and their friendship?
