'Freya shivered as the thought raced unbidden through her mind. He felt the tremour and smirked, pausing to just hold her hips for a few seconds until the shiver had disappeared.
It was payback for when she'd threatened him before, she knew. He had tried intimidating her with his fangs and that hadn't worked, so he was trying to get under her skin in a different way.
She'd be damned if she was going to let him get away with it.'
Vanessa is the strongest. Lyra is the fastest. Robyn has the highest IQ. Charlotte has the wit and the wiles. What does Freya have? She's the funniest, but what use is humour when it comes to slaying vampires?
All Freya wants is to be taken seriously. Unfortunately, she can't stop making mistakes.
When a new vampire stronghold springs up overnight and there aren't enough fully-fledged slayers to cover patrols, Imogen has no choice but to send the girls into the field, despite the fact they're only seventeen and still have a whole year of training to complete. It's Freya's chance to prove herself - but will she overcome her shortcomings, or will her mistakes overwhelm her?
The girls are closer than best friends. They're sisters. But secrets build walls between them and their trust in each other is soon to be challenged further than ever before.
Meanwhile the vampires Drake and Zephyra have spent centuries watching and waiting - now slayer numbers are lower than ever, it's time to strike. Firenze, Aria, Cedar, Oskar, and Ace were all turned as teenagers; they have the hunger of youth combined with the experience of age which gives them an edge most vampires lack. But vampires are historically disloyal and selfish, caring only for themselves. Drake and Zephyra need them to first prove their loyalty by infiltrating the slayer nest.
Falling for a vampire never had such high stakes.
