Grace Smith thought life would continue in the same circle of monotony it had for the last three years. After the murder of her father, her mother remarried the town's high school principal, a man whose violence is known only to Grace. But the day a family moves in next door will change her world forever. Derio and his Italian family charm the small town, but Grace isn't fooled. Several strange events lead her to believe something paranormal is happening. But he's not a vampire, werewolf, or any other creature Grace can call to mind. To set the record straight before she's labeled crazy instead of rebellious, Grace searches to see if her new neighbors are really Italian or really Evil.
