I wrote the book for teens, but most of my fans are women between 25 and 50. Is that right? What novels should we be thinking of?Ĭity of Bones (The Mortal Instrument series) The school setup makes us think of the Harry Potter series. If she’s not careful, she might fall in love… but will she live long enough to enjoy it? She just wishes he would stop staring at her with those amazing green eyes.

Woah, that’s a lot of story – but tell us more. She overhears him tell her uncle that hunters are dying on their birthdays, and no one knows what’s killing them. “It kills on your birthday.” She has no idea what this means until her father, Statler Van Helsing, shows up out of the blue to take her to school with him. Then she gets two visitors in a single night: a dead rock star and a reaper. All she wants is to be herself, but she isn’t sure who that is. She and her uncle move from town to town, constantly changing their identities. When the story begins, she has already spent most of her life on the run from monsters.
