About this book
In this sequel set in the beach town of Sandy Hollow, teens face a terrifying summer as rumors of vampires turn into chilling evidence. Billy is sure the undead are hunting the boardwalk at night, but his friends don’t believe him—until bodies start turning up. Fast chapters, eerie twists, and a pulse-pounding mystery keep pages turning. Great for teens who like scary stories, supernatural danger, and cliffhanger endings.
Setting: the seaside resort town of Sandy Hollow during a summer season
