Daisy is all set to enjoy the summer before her senior year – she has even got herself a job at the local diner, run by an invisible man. But even in summer, things are weird in Nightshade. The freshman football team is acting a bit scary – almost pack-like in their behavior. And Daisy would swear that she saw her father around town, even though he disappeared almost six years ago. Lives will be danger this summer – which may be nothing new for Nightshade, but painful for Daisy to face. 

It looks like there will be at least one more book in the Nightshade series – and I can’t wait! Its hard to believe that a book about creatures of the night can be scary and fun all at the same time, but it's true!
