But high school couple Lisa and Angie discover that beneath the town, an ancient threat is lurking and has now awakened to feed in a cycle as old as human existence itself.
With the help of the local police chief, who has been stumped by unsettling events in town, Lisa and Angie must stop the vampires before their town is overrun. Will they succeed, or will New Friendship succumb to the nightmare?
Some town secrets are better left buried.

"Rather, they feared the ones who were not to be uttered aloud, for fear of bringing death to themselves or their loved ones."
Something ancient is stirring in the quiet, sleepy town of New Friendship, where not much happens from day to day. Until the day when a lurking nightmare emerges from the darkness. Fraught with hunger and the need to expand their brood. Needing to sustain their existence before they once again go into their deep sleep.
As the fear is elevating amongst the residents, there are those that are determined to solve the mystery of what is going on. Why are people disappearing? And why does it seem as if they are reappearing as something else?
Small town horror is always a hit with me; I love the feeling of isolation and the seemingly darkness that surrounds the town. Nothing close by but the woods. Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run. As the brood emerges from deep below, it surprised me that they weren't just there to feed. I liked how they came from very ancient times and throughout history, they continued to thrive.
The characters of Angie, Lisa, and Chief Hank Davis were really great characters. They came together to fight for their town with the best of their ability. They stayed strong and didn't give up.
I love the ending and how it leaves us with the feeling that this is not the end, that there is still more to be told.
This is a debut and the author did a fine job of writing. Good character development and the details made this story come alive. Quite enjoyable, indeed. I will be keeping an eye on this author.
Another thought: I feel this would be easily as enjoyable to young adult readers that enjoy horror, the supernatural, and vampires.
