Can you feel my heartbeat? Can you feel the tingling on my skin? This can't be real. Katrina Smythe is 18 years old, a high school student and has been undead for a year. A stroke of luck, as she's finally got rid of all that tedious emotional stuff: pain, jealousy and excitement are no longer her problem! Instead, she is strong and fits in much better with her unusual family of vampires, witches and werewolves. But everything changes when the new boy next door, Tate Walker, rings their doorbell. Not only is he outrageously handsome, but unfortunately he is also a member of a family of hunters - the arch enemies of all supernaturals. Katrina is immediately ready to make short work of this annoying Tate. But then the unbelievable happens: The Walkers don't attack, but ask the Smythes for help. And Katrina and Tate become closer than either of them would like. After a failed soul curse, they can only move a few metres away from each other. It doesn't get more horrifying than this, even for the undead! If it weren't for Katrina's treacherous dead heart, which suddenly starts beating gently again.
