THE CULLING

Everleigh Hayes has plans for the perfect summer... And who better to spend it with than her three best friends? But when they ditch her for exotic vacations abroad, she now faces a loner summer at home with her ever-feuding parents—until they decide to sell her childhood home and kick her to the curb. With no friends, no plans, and now, no home, Everleigh’s summer is shaping up to be the biggest letdown yet. When her childhood best friend-turned-social-outcast, Spencer Vaughn, invites her to hang with him on his boat, she reluctantly agrees. After all, she doesn’t have anywhere else to go. What starts as a fun, carefree trip across Lake Michigan quickly turns into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse amidst a minefield of missing persons and dead bodies. To make matters worse, Spencer knows what’s happening, and he’s in the middle of it. Born a vampire, his species is at war with a volatile breed of Bitten vampires who are culling humans for their own needs—and Everleigh is one of the last humans in the area. Spencer may be her only chance at survival, but can she trust him knowing he’s lied to her their entire lives? If she wants to live to see her senior year, she’ll have no choice. Too bad the summer of her life might just be her last.
