Araminta Chase is a screw-up. Falling out of a window to avoid someone is business as usual. Landing on a vampire is a new one. And the vampire wants to know exactly why Minty was where she was, when she was. "I'm afraid of commitment" isn't gonna cut it. When Minty is accused of murdering that same vampire, it really hits the fan. She's nabbed by the very people she works for, an agency that acts as a go-between for monsters and the human world. Killing a vampire is a no-no for non-agents. Worse, Minty's body count is supposedly at two. Minty didn't kill anyone, but she doesn't want to clear her name. All she wants is her adopted kid brother, a thirteen-year-old werewolf named Sid. But a mysterious research institute called Better Choices, Better World has been looking for him for a long time, and Minty's "crime" was all they needed to sniff him out. They wanted him, now they've got him. Well, Minty wants him back. And she's got new teeth.
