Jamie Carpenter is sixteen. He lives with his Mum, his father dead after being shot as a traitor to his country. Angry, bullied and terribly lonely, his life is about to change. Something is out there… Something else is watching over him…

When Jamie’s Mum is kidnapped, he is drawn into Department 19 – an elite force to fight the evil of vampires and werewolves still living in our world today.

Driven to rescue his mum, Jamie searches for the truth about his father’s double life and what really happened the night he was shot.

Gripping, with strong characters and chapters moving between the past and today, to give the reader a history of the story. This series is at the top of my list.
