Middle Grades American History 2016 Student Edition Grade 8 by Prentice

Keep your cards close and your enemies closer.

At least that's what my mom always told me. Becoming a vampire hunter was never in my cards, but it is now that she needs my help. A decade ago vampires seized control of the bars, casinos, and the dark underbelly of society. Now they deal in addiction and bargain with blood, and humans over twenty-five can't fight back against their compulsion. It's made my mother vulnerable--the only family I have left.

To save her, I'm forced to make a deal with the devil--one who lives above a casino, wears a crown, and wants to drink my blood. Andrianos Teresi may be dangerous and alluring but I've got a stake hidden up my sleeve. I'll go all in and play his game, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

What I don't expect? The heart that needs guarding is my own.
