Description

Zoey Matthews knows evil wears many masks.

She has seen death before.

But never like this.

Danger lurks in the forgotten corners of Bridgeport when six teens unwittingly awaken something that should have stayed buried. When a young woman is murdered while under the protection of two ancient vampires, Zoey knows she's standing at the edge of a new mystery. This one is far more dangerous than any she's faced before. Vampires don't fail, which means something far more sinister is at work in Bridgeport.

Then the signs begin to appear. A doll, buried near a long-abandoned house, is unearthed. Its presence whispers of forgotten curses. Hooded figures move through Bridgeport's streets, watching, waiting, longing. And something old, cruel, and hungry is stalking the town from the shadows.

As the body count rises, Zoey races to connect the dots before Bridgeport becomes a hunting ground. But danger isn't the only thing clouding her judgment. A man enters her life at the worst possible time; his presence raising questions she doesn't have time to answer, and feelings she can't afford to explore. She's drawn to him even as she fights the pull, knowing it could cost her everything.

Because things don't fall apart this quickly by accident. If Zoey is right, none of this is random. And if she's wrong, the dead will be the lucky ones.
