Everything changes for 16 year old Dru
Anderson when her father leaves on a hunt and doesn’t return. At least not as a
human. Even though Dru and her father have been hunting other beings since her
mother died, Dru has never been on her own, she has only used her special
“touch” power to aid her father. Now she has no choice. Someone has changed her
father into a zombie and that someone is coming after her next. Without knowing
who she truly is and what her destiny is, Dru is left floundering until an
unexpected helper in the form of a goth boy named Graves becomes her side-kick.
The next savior to enter the picture is fanged and his name is Christophe. It
isn’t quite clear if Christophe is good or bad but Dru needs to know more about
the supernatural world and he is the only one to give her that insight. There
is something slithering in the night and it is getting closer so Dru will need
all the help she can get.
I really enjoyed this first installment.
I found myself cheering out loud for Dru. She is a very real character. Her
vulnerabilities make her believable. It is a mix of Supernatural and Buffy, The
Vampire Slayer and contains many great action scenes with the added mystery of
why Dru is on the supernatural beings menu all of a sudden. This is great for
the older YA paranormal lovers with caution to some that there are some descriptive
gruesome scenes.
