For Clover, the life of a hunter sucks.
However, her eighteen years of training did not prepare her for this: high school.
And this is no ordinary high school but one filled to the brim with supernatural beings plus ordinary teenagers too.
Clover's mission is to go undercover as a "normal" girl and find out the truth about these monsters.
If you thought high school was bad, imagine being surrounded by non-gothic vampires, witchy cheerleaders, werewolf jocks, and funky mermaids.
Yep. Sounds deadly.
But how can Clover pretend to be a regular teenage girl, when deep down she's a hunter, and just the idea of befriending a bloodsucker makes her sick to her stomach?
And not because of the the gross oatmeal she had to eat at six in the morning for breakfast.

This is a joke.
NO WAY IN FREAKING HELL.
I usually don't get so mad, actually scratch that, I'm always mad. But at the moment, I'm really mad because my moron of a brother just "lost" a bloodthirsty vampire.
How can you "lose" a bloodsucker? I don't know, but there's no time for screwups.
I look down at my watch.
Shit. It's almost dawn and I have no clue where these leeches could've gone.
