The Page Turners: Blood (Paperback or Softback)

Three misfits in a dying small town read a spell from an ancient book of magic — and drag a killer vampire straight out of the pages of fiction and into their lives.

Nate Bourdain is the kind of kid people have already written off. Motherless. Bullied. Living with a stepfather who drinks. The only place life makes sense is inside a story. He and his two best friends run The Page Turners — an underground club devoted to every genre of fiction ever written. They know every monster. Every weakness. Every rule.

They just never thought they'd have to use any of it.

When Nate finds a book of real magic in the school library, The Page Turners do what they've always done: they read. And something answers.

Now a vampire from the pages of fiction is loose in Maplewright. Danny's girlfriend is captive in a house of death. The adults won't listen. The police are hostile. And the boys are armed with nothing but their knowledge of every monster story ever told.

Some stories aren't meant to come true. This one already has.

Blood is the first book in The Page Turners trilogy — dark YA fantasy for the kid who found more truth in genre fiction than in anything the real world had to offer.
