New York Times bestselling author Z Brewer returns to the tiny town of Nowhere, where Viktor Valentine is facing down the worlds most dangerous dinner invitation from the mother of all vampires...literally!
Viktor Valentine wishes that his biggest issue was getting his hands on an autographed copy of the new Screaming Meemies album. Instead, hes in trouble at school, Alys isnt talking to him, Damon is hanging out with Viktors mortal enemy, and his dad wont stop telling terrible jokes.
Oh, and Lilith, the dangerously powerful mother of vampirekind, is looking for him.
As if all that isnt bad enough, Viktor received a special invitation from Lilith. He definitely doesnt want to accept, especially since the more he learns about vampires, the more danger he finds himself in. Theres also the matter of his unique abilities, which no one is willing to give him a clear answer on. Is there anyone in Nowhere who Viktor can trust to tell him the truth
