Despite being a natural-born vampire hunter like her two older brothers, Cat has fallen for Jesse-an ageless boy from a centuries-old vampire clan. Cat's job cataloguing rare texts at a bookstore allows her to meet with Jesse alone every night. But when girls who look disturbingly similar to Cat start disappearing from town, Cat and Jesse discover frightening clues to their whereabouts within the book collection. Together, they must stop a crazed man from realizing a dark scheme that could claim Cat's life.
