Viktor Valentine can’t think of a better way to end his summer vacation than playing All the Vampires Everywhere, his favorite video game, with his best friend, Damon. Yet his parents, who make cringey jokes and call him dorky nicknames, seem set on ruining his plans. Without the game, Viktor knows he doesn’t compete with Damon’s cool new friends. Slowly, Viktor realizes that his parents are hiding something. They’re acting very suspicious; they sneak out after midnight and return with bloody mouths. But he’s probably just played too many video games. After all, vampires aren’t real . . . right? Seventh grade is tough enough without having to figure out if your parents have fangs. And to make matters worse, the new family that moved in across the street seems particularly interested in things that go bump in the night. Can Viktor protect his family, or will his sleuthing come back to bite him?
