Mitch Morris finds the new girl odd. There’s something strange about her–it might be her dark hair and pale skin, the way she can get him to do things he doesn’t want to do, or the fact that he just can’t remember her name! Even more odd is the sudden disappearance of blood from the local blood bank. When Mitch spends some time with Mercy, he finds he really likes her, even after he discovers her parents are vampires! The other Zombie Hunters think Mercy and her family have to go. Can Mitch be friends with a vampire? Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards.
