Hidden City (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781736989135)

Teenage chess champion Stacy Goldman only believes in what she can prove. When her family flees NYC in the wake of 9/11, Stacy lands in Richmond VA, a city with a secret supernatural subculture that draws her into a world of threats, challenges and monsters - everything Stacy is sure doesn't exist . . .

Let me be clear, I am NOT a vampire hunter.

I do not have fighter skills, I am not the Chosen One. I am Stacy Goldman, a self proclaimed math nerd from Battery Park City, NY with a formidable GPA, a 2200 rated chess game (yes, that's good) and no belief, NONE in the unreal, occult spiritual blah de blah. I do have a weakness for coffee and the cute Goth boys that follow my best friend like rats follow a trash truck.

So when the airplanes hit the Towers and my father made the incomprehensible decision to abandon the City for a "safer home" in Richmond VA, I became the new girl in an ?er hard catholic School (what I'm Jewish!) and my sensible seeming new friends turned out to be . . . well, you probably wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Inside these pages is what happened.
