Blurb: I control my destiny and my life. Nothing controls me. Ever.

Nick Gautier thinks he knows everything. Streetwise, tough and savvy, his quick sarcasm is renowned. But his whole world is suddenly turned upside down on the night his best friends try to kill him.

Saved by a mysterious warrior, Nick is sucked into the realm of the Dark-Hunters - immortal vampire-slayers who risk everything to save humanity - and he quickly learns that the human world is only a veil for a much larger and more dangerous one that's filled with all kinds of evil. Nick knows he's in real danger and he soon has a lot more to deal with than high school - all without getting grounded, suspended... or killed.

Justin Richards

Blurb: 'I blame those new Brainy Crisps. Since he started eating them, he's been too clever by half.'

Can eating a bag of crisps really make you more clever? The company that makes the crisps says so, and they seem to be right.
