As the creepy little town of Nightshade prepares to celebrate its two
hundredth anniversary -- on Halloween, of course -- many of its
paranormal residents are receiving mysterious blackmail letters. Psychic
teen Daisy Giordano and her sisters set out to find who is behind the
threats. But launching an investigation isn't easy for Daisy with her
overprotective father watching her every move. Though she's happy to
have him back after the years he spent being held captive by an
anti-paranormal group called the Scourge, Dad is having a difficult time
adjusting to home life -- and the fact that his little girl is now a
senior in high school. He even disapproves of Daisy's boyfriend, Ryan.
Ryan, meanwhile, to Daisy's dismay, has been considering some faraway
colleges thanks to the advice of Nightshade High's new guidance
counselor. Can their relationship take the strain? And Daisy's got even
more on her plate: A talented amateur cook, she has won cooking lessons
with celebrity chef Circe Silvertongue. After nosing around (with a
little help from Circe's pet pig), Daisy begins to suspect that the
temperamental chef has got more secrets than just her ingredients . . .
