Publisher's Synopsis
What do you get when you put together a girl who shoots lightning, a magical boy with a feline familiar perched on his head, and a bunch of cosplaying vampires? Trouble.
When Evan Brendan is forced to chase an escaped gryphon to an island occupied primarily by clueless tourists, a famous lighthouse, and the occasional giant teddy bear left on a motorcycle, he discovers a scared runaway teenager with lightning powers she can't control. Despite her objections and his better judgment, he takes his father's advice and recruits her for The Will, the secret organization he's reluctantly been part of since birth. But what terrible secrets from her past might he be bringing into his well-ordered world?
Suddenly finding herself in a parallel dimension in a mansion complete with a cryptic gryphon, a silent revenant, a disturbing, too-pretty boy who smells like cinnamon, and his quirky feline familiar, Carrie Summerland has to learn to cope with her little-understood powers. But after a nightmarish initiation into this highly-dubious supernatural organization, can she trust these seeming new friends--or her own emotions?
Amid the haunted landscape of Jekyll Island, Georgia, where ancient oak trees drip with Spanish moss and hide the island's dark past, Evan and Carrie must discover the secrets that The Will and Evan's father are hiding and dig into the truths of Carrie's past. With the help of the occasionally pirate-garbed vampires of Savannah, Georgia, and hindered, helped, or confused by Evan's past inamorati (a gamine tree nymph and a much-too-flirty succubus), they must find the source of a growing vampire madness and stop whoever is using it to try to take over the world.
On a Katherine Gilbert wackiness scale of 1-to-10 sarcastic talking cats*, this one is a 7.
