The Chronicles of Viktor Valentine #2: What Lurks in the Shadows

New York Times bestselling author Z Brewer returns to the tiny town of Nowhere, where Viktor Valentine is facing down the world''s most dangerous dinner invitation from the mother of all vampires...literally! Viktor Valentine wishes that his biggest issue was getting his hands on an autographed copy of the new Screaming Meemies album. Instead, he''s in trouble at school, Alys isn''t talking to him, Damon is hanging out with Viktor''s mortal enemy, and his dad won''t stop telling terrible jokes. Oh, and Lilith, the dangerously powerful mother of vampirekind, is looking for him. As if all that isn''t bad enough, Viktor received a special invitation from Lilith. He definitely doesn''t want to accept, especially since the more he learns about vampires, the more danger he finds himself in. There''s also the matter of his unique abilities, which no one is willing to give him a clear answer on. Is there anyone in Nowhere who Viktor can trust to tell him the truth?
