miracle. Then he learns the truth. According to a two-thousand-year-old
journal, Jack is supposed to kill the head werewolf, thus saving the
world from total destruction. He thinks he can refuse. This is his life,
after all. He wants to return to high school, graduate, and live a
completely normal life. But the people around him are drowning in the
supernatural and won't allow Jack to walk away. His vampire friends
desperately want his return and are willing to do anything to return his
fangs to him. The girl he's crushing on is THE werewolf hunter, Silver,
and she is positive he is the one the faerie's journal speaks of. Then
there's his kid brother. Billy is older than Jack now, thanks to years
as a vampire, and Billy can't decide if he wants to welcome Jack home or
stake him through the heart to be on the safe side.
Jack is determined to do things his own way, recapture the life he lost,
but it might not be that simple. Even though he is mortal now, his
powers are returning, and he's developing some new ones. He can run
vampire-fast, is stronger than the average man, and can produce
invisible claws while fighting. His time seems to be running out. If
he's going to enjoy being mortal, he'd better do it fast.
When Jack meets his new English teacher, he is instantly drawn to the
man. Jersey Clifford wears solid black with red sneakers, quotes poetry,
and has a mansion hidden beneath an old house. He has secrets, dark
secrets.
Then there is the werewolf-janitor, a psychotic killer that Jack wants
to see dead more than he wants his own freedom.
Silver tells him about the magical stone, a gift from the faerie. It can
only be used by Jack and only once. Which werewolf will he destroy? Will
he seek his revenge at the possible expense of the world? Or will he
kill a friend and mentor to save the human race from a futuristic threat?
