Ghoulies. Ghosties. Long-legged beasties. Things that go bump in the
night....
The Price family has spent generations studying the monsters of the
world, working to protect them from humanity--and humanity from them.
Enter Verity Price. Despite being trained from birth as a
cryptozoologist, she'd rather dance a tango than tangle with a demon,
and is spending a year in Manhattan while she pursues her career in
professional ballroom dance. Sounds pretty simple, right? It would be,
if it weren't for the talking mice, the telepathic mathematicians, the
asbestos supermodels, and the trained monster-hunter sent by the Price
family's old enemies, the Covenant of St. George.
When a Price girl meets a Covenant boy, high stakes, high heels, and a
lot of collateral damage are almost guaranteed. To complicate matters
further, local cryptids are disappearing, strange lizard-men are
appearing in the sewers, and someone's spreading rumors about a dragon
sleeping underneath the city....
