The Uninvited
by Nancy Banks
A YA paranormal fantasy about vampires in the Paris underground, where a young woman's bohemian dream turns into a chilling nightmare. Now her survival hinges on bringing to light the city's darkest and deepest secrets. When 17-year-old Tosh Reeves moves from Portland, Oregon to Paris, it's a dream come to life. The city embraces her with its street-life, iconic architecture, and infinite gustatory delights. There's even a charming expat boy, Nick, who introduces her to sights tourists never see. From medieval catacombs to the viciously competitive street art scene, Tosh's immersion in Paris makes her feel wholly alive in a way she's never before experienced. She belongs. But when a series of brutal vampiric attacks creeps closer to her new circle of bohemian friends, Tosh will confront the darker side of her beloved Paris, and learn how deeply monsters can strike at a young woman's power and heart.
