Sequel to Underdead.

It’s been a quiet summer for middle-school science teacher Jo Gartner—not a pre-teen or a vampire in sight. Just as she begins to believe that the enigmatic vampire who turned her “almost Undead” was a bad dream, Will shows up on her doorstep, making Jo more determined than ever to avoid all things vampire and maintain a normal life. And what’s more normal than doing community service to help a lovesick friend? But getting dressed up in a Halloween costume for a haunted house fundraiser is not what Jo had in mind. Especially as the entire vampire community seems to be drawn to the place.

When one of the haunted house extras turns up dead, Jo’s hope for a quiet existence slips away faster than an eighth grader can shoot a spitball through a cafeteria straw. A rash of “accidents” makes it hard for Jo to know whom to trust, especially when her once-reliable detective turns standoffish and sexy vampire Will grows entirely too charming. She must choose allies carefully as she races to unmask the killer…or the next death might be her own!
