Crystal Shadows, Gripping New Blood (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781964804613)

Imagine your dad starts acting weird. Not just regular dad-weird, but seriously strange. That's what Sarah Field is dealing with, and trust me, it's just the beginning of this wild ride.

Sarah's life gets turned upside down when she discovers an ancient amulet with terrifying powers. The Telum Deos, when her quiet life with her teacher dad suddenly explodes into something straight out of a horror movie - literally. The monsters are coming to life around her, and not in a fun, magical way. We're talking spine-chilling, run-for-your-life kind of stuff.

Thank god she's got her three misfit friends by her side, because she's going to need all the help she can get. Together, they dive headfirst into a world where Dracula isn't just a character in a book, and her grandfather's mysterious past might hold the key to surviving what's coming. Every corner they turn reveals another shocking secret, and every answer only leads to more dangerous questions. As Sarah and her friends race against time to figure out what's happening and keep the truth from her dad, while trying to stop the darkness that's spreading through their lives, they'll have to face their worst fears come to life. And the scariest part? This is only the beginning of their story. With movie monsters becoming real, an amulet that holds dark powers, and a father who might not be himself anymore, Sarah's about to learn that sometimes the most terrifying things aren't in the horror movies she loves - they're hiding much closer to home. Brace yourself for a story that'll keep you up at night, make you laugh in the face of danger, and have you checking under your bed... just in case. Because in Sarah's world, anything is possible - and not all of it is good.
