Ricky Rollins wants a few things. First, he wants to know that his family is safe, including not only his sister, but also Lisabelle Verlans, who is like family to him. Second, he wants to understand what's going on at Paranormal Public. What's the strange creature sometimes only he can see? Who is working for the Hunters? Can he get through the homecoming dance without embarrassing himself in front of the girl of his dreams? The last thing he wants is to get through the semester alive. He certainly doesn't want to be murdered by his own kind.
