This is the story of how Ryan Bergara discovers the one thing he's always desired-and the way he never wanted to discover it.

A family of inhuman creatures, who hunt inhuman creatures. What could possibly go wrong, right? A family of eight. Two parents, Bjørn and Lorelai. The children, Annabeth, Damon, Jackal, Jules, Hailey and Valí. Aunts, uncles, best friends and a Helhound. This family puts up with a lot of shit, none of the children have even had a childhood. But not anymore, not whenever Valí still has a chance. ((NOTE: Many words in this book that do not look to be English most likely aren't. I'm using old norse words often, in replacement of family terms and terms of endearment (such as vinr for friend.) If you don't understand a word, you can either look them up, or give me a comment in which I will gleefully translate.))
