Gideon Keep is a sophomore in high school who hunts vampires while hiding that fact from father. His grandfather trained him and still helps him with his hunting. This book was a quick read and Gideon is an ok character, but all the women in this book are bitches and sluts (except for his dead mom and his teacher, but the teacher is still mentioned as being pretty).

I like the dynamic he has with his friends and how his home life is explained, but basically every relationship in this book is flawed somehow. I also felt like the way Gideon is written changes too frequently. Sometimes he's just a high school kid and other times he seems like he's written a bit older and he likes hurting the vampires. Using technology to figure out the mystery is nothing new, but it's used well in this book. A lot of the scenarios really are just dumb luck. He must be a really good fighter because sometimes he kills the vampires way too easily (in my opinion).

Gideon Keep is a high school sophomore who hunts vampires at nights and on weekends. He comes from a long line of vampire hunters, but his dad stopped after Gideon’s mom died and he does not want or know that Gideon has taken up the family business. His grandfather no longer hunts, but luckily he still runs the crematory and funeral home and Gideon uses this to destroy the bodies of the vampires he kills.

Gideon has always been told that he must keep secret the family’s unofficial job but runs into problems after he saves one of his teachers when she’s attacked by a vampire and he kills it. She really doesn’t believe it when he tells her why he killed the “man” that was attacking her but she agrees not to tell anyone at this time. Before disposing of the body, Gideon confiscates the vampire’s car keys and cell phone; from the phone he discovers that the local coven has a contract out on the teacher with the reward being immediate entrance into the coven.

He has tow best friends, Pete and Seth, but since Seth started dating Andrea he’s so wrapped up in her that he rarely hangs with them and over the last few months Pete has just gotten weird and is not the same either so this given him even more time to hunt vamps.

While this book had a few flaws and Gideon seemed too perfect for a high school student it was an entertaining, quick read.
