Meena Harper's special gift, the ability to predict when a person will die, has attracted the attention of the Vatican. More accurately, she has raised a few eyebrows at the Palatine, a secret military unit that guards humans from demon possession, and the powers that be want Meena to come to work for them.

Joining the Palatine's new unit in lower Manhattan (God knows there are plenty of folks in need of saving in NYC!), Meena will give her new employers an advantage over their "undead" enemy. But when dozens of tourists begin disappearing on the island, it becomes obvious that something really bad is happening either here in the city or across the river in New Jersey.

Meena's ex-boyfriend, Lucien Antonescu, the son of Dracula, gets the blame for the bad stuff happening, but Meena doesn't believe it for a second. She's prone to believe it might have something to do with the "Lamir." Agreed, they have never dared to cross the equator from their South American stronghold, but there's always a first time.

Alaric Wulf, Meena's new partner and an alpha demon hunter, will have to use his considerable skills to not only keep his new sidekick safe, but also help blunt this new threat that endangers the Palatine itself. Father Henrique Mauricio, the Church's top Lamir expert, also factors into this equation as does the grand opening of a new exhibit of Vatican art at the Met that may be quite memorable in ways the church fathers never imagined!

Once Meg Cabot slips Overbite into overdrive, you'll discover it is so engrossing you can't set it down. So be forewarned! Once she sets her hook you'll belong to Cabot until you reach the final paragraph on page 275.
