It's in her blood! Brielle Brooks is a good kid, no matter what her teachers say - it's not her fault she's developing vampiric super-powers and the undead want to brawl! And, as if her problems at school aren't enough, Bri's got a wild ride ahead of her: She's about to discover she's the daughter of an infamous vampire hunter, the Daywalker called Blade! Meanwhile, it turns out that her classmate Whitney may not be the BFF Brielle was hoping for - but that's the least of her concerns as she discovers that her powers come with a dangerous hunger! And the Daywalker himself arrives on the scene at the worst possible time! Plus: Brielle has a ghostly encounter on Halloween!
