A perfectly average boy uncovers a supernatural secret about
his family that could put his whole town in grave danger—if it doesn’t make him
die of embarrassment first—in this mysterious and funny middle grade debut
from New York Times bestselling author Z Brewer.
.
Viktor Valentine can’t think of a better way to end his
summer vacation than playing All the Vampires Everywhere, his
favorite video game, with his best friend, Damon. Yet his parents, who make
cringey jokes and call him dorky nicknames, seem set on ruining his plans.
Viktor knows he can’t really compete with Damon’s “cool” friends—so their epic
video game playing is the best Viktor can do to come close to being cool in
Damon’s eyes.
.
But then Viktor slowly starts to realize that his parents may
be hiding something from him. They’re acting very suspicious; they sneak out
after midnight and return with bloody mouths. But he’s probably just played too
many video games. After all, vampires aren’t real . . . right?
.
Seventh grade is tough enough without having to figure out if
your family has fangs. And to make matters worse, the new girl that moved in
across the street seems particularly interested in things that
go bump in the night. Can Viktor protect his family, or will his sleuthing come
back to bite him?
.
Enjoy this peek inside:
CHAPTER ONE—THE HUNT BEGINS
As the girl turned the page of the book, the sharp edge
of the paper sliced into her finger. With a hiss, she put the injured tip in
her mouth, tasting blood. She’d only been pretending to read anyway, desperate
to drown out the speaking man’s judgmental tone, but so far, her efforts
weren’t deterring him even a little bit. He hadn’t even noticed she’d cut
herself. Or if he did notice, he didn’t seem to care.
“This won’t be an easy hunt. He’s cunning, this one.”
Seated in his worn leather club chair, the man was dressed in earth tones,
which blended in with the color of the chair all too well. All around him were
cardboard boxes bearing labels that listed the contents of each box. Furniture
was placed in a haphazard fashion around the room in the careless approach that
most movers had when it came to delivering someone else’s belongings. On his
lap was an old wooden box with an ornate hinge holding the lid closed. “It’s
going to take every skill we possess to take him down. There cannot be any
mistakes.”
Wetting her lips, the girl let out a grunt and returned
her attention to her book, wishing he’d take the hint. How long was he going to
hold the past against her? Would anything she’d ever do be good enough for him?
The woman was crouched by a box on the floor beside his
chair, rummaging through its contents with so much purpose that it was giving
the girl a headache. “How difficult could it be?” the woman said. “We know
where he’s located. He has no idea who and what we are, and he’s completely
unaware that we’re here.”
The man shook his head, tapping his fingers on the lid of
the box. “You underestimate him, just as you underestimated the last one.”
He was speaking to the woman, but the girl knew his words
were meant for her ears. She’d messed up the last hunt. The woman hadn’t been
perfect either, but in the end, it was 100 percent the girl’s fault that the
creature had managed to escape. The man had called her “soft” at the time. But
what he really meant was “weak.”
