At last, Dracula & Daughters are open for business. Their mission: to heal vampires and keep the streets of Temstown safe.

Trouble is, the new Guildmaster is insisting the city is now vampire-free, and wants Dracula & Daughters to close. But the undead are still lurking. After a string of strange events at the prestigious Poisonwood School for Boys, frightened pupils start holding vampire slaying lessons in secret.

It's up to Mina, Buffy and Bella to convince them that slaying isn't the answer. But when vampires are appearing by the classful, is it already too late? The granddaughters of Dracula are about to have their healing skills firmly put to the test... And are reminded never to underestimate the undead.

9+ readers will devour the atmospheric setting, the vampish powers and the gothic details - including a talking raven - perfect for fans of Murder Most Unladylike, The Swifts and the TV show, Wednesday.
