Maddie, the main character of the story, is an only child. She lives on the farm with her two parents and feels alone as a result. She struggles to find peace and love, until Dad surprises her. Easter comes around and this is where a new beginning starts, but ends quickly too. Little does she know where her desperate need to be loved lies...The Pied Piper is known for his supernatural ability to catch rats. Of course. He’s a vampire. Rats, bats, wolves, and humans fall prey to his command. It’s a lucrative living until a payment dispute with a small-town German client in 1284 and his revenge--kidnapping the town’s children and turning them into vampires--escalated into a territorial battle with Count Dracula, forcing the Piper to flee Europe with a few of his children.Seven hundred years later in Manhattan, Jack follows in his father’s footsteps. It’s a good living: the number of rats in New York City is no joke. When the Piper’s girlfriend, an animal rights activist, threatens Jack’s business in a scheme to get the Piper out of pest control, the Piper and Jack fight for control. And Jack must decide what he’ll sacrifice for love.
