Milo Calder has one goal: survive high school without anyone finding out he is a vampire.
That would be easier if his fangs did not show at the worst possible times, his reflection did not blur in cheap mirrors, and his hunger did not turn crowded hallways into a private nightmare. Milo does not want ancient power, family legacy, or vampire pride. He just wants to pass for human.
Then bloodless animals start appearing around town.
Everyone else blames coyotes, pranksters, or some sick creep in the woods. Milo knows better. The bodies are too clean. The clues are too obvious. Someone is staging the scenes to point straight at vampires, before the town even knows vampires exist.
When a curfew locks the town down, hiding stops being enough. Someone is dragging the Calder family's secrets into the open, one corpse at a time. If Milo cannot find out who is behind it, his quiet life will become exactly what he fears most.
Proof.
But the closer he gets to the truth, the more Milo begins to suspect the real monster is not just what is leaving bloodless bodies behind.
It is something his family buried years ago.
And it is still hungry.
