Fright Eater

The Host #2

by Selina Rosen

It has been three years since Tracy Cohen went into combat against the undead in Jones Port, Arkansas. In that time, she has been asked to join an intelligence agency which deals with... well, extraodinary cases. In this capacity she has fought vampires on several different fronts. Her constant dealings with other-worldly situations has caused her to lose touch with the mundane, and the cost is her relationship with Jane Weston.

Now the agency has called her across the country to battle the soulless in Wako City. A city torn apart by racism and hatred as a group of Neo Nazis prepare to march through a part of the city heavily populated by Holocaust survirors -- among them, Tracy’s estranged family.

But Nazis and vampires are only part of the problem, and Tracy finds herself up against her most powerful foe to date. Can Tracy deal with her past, secure the present, and ensure the future of the world?

The demon within is more powerful than the demon without.
