Blood Summons: Nyte Creature Calling Series

Annie Falco's idea of a first date was more like an experiment, trying to escape the fears her father had instilled before he died trying to hurt her.

Joel Price never wanted to date. An afterthought to his parents, and mostly overlooked at school, Joel had become comfortable with neglect and invisibility. The last thing these two expected when they found themselves on their first date was to summon a blood-hungry sliver of insanity.

Their meet-cute should have been wholesome, a path to reconciliation and maybe even love. Instead, their date began with blood. A busted nose and a paper cut led to the release of the Nytshel. A piece of madness confined to the yellowing pages of a pulp horror novel.

Finally unchained, the Nytshel could seek its freedom, but for that, it would need more than a few drops of blood. It would need gallons. An army would be needed to gather it all, and as luck would have it, Joel's collection of horror movies was ripe for the picking.

As the Nytshel begins to plague the town with monsters summoned from old b-movies: cannibal cucumbers, werewolves, and a bird as big as a battleship, Joel and Annie find themselves on the front lines with what might be their town's only hope. The same magic that sealed the Nytshel now flows in their veins and armed with cards from Joel’s favorite game, Blood Summons, the two unlikely friends become enmeshed in a war of blood and darkness.

But Joel and Annie only have so many cards and so much blood in their veins. This isn't a game they can quit. their choices will either mean the death of everything and everyone they know, or victory bathed in blood.
