Viktor Valentine is facing down the world’s most dangerous dinner invitation in the middle of friendship and family troubles in the second book of this entertaining middle grade series by the New York Times bestselling author of the Chronicles of Vladimir Tod series.
Viktor Valentine wishes that his biggest issue was getting his hands on an autographed copy of the new Screaming Meemies album. Instead, Alys isn’t talking to him, Damon is hanging out with Viktor’s mortal enemy, he’s in trouble at school, and his dad won’t stop telling terrible jokes.
Oh yeah, and Lilith, the dangerously powerful mother of vampirekind, is looking for him.
