Danielle Verona can’t believe the band picked her to be their new lead singer. She’s on the road, performing at all the hot clubs. The adoring fans, the bright lights— it’s a dream come true! But when nighttime falls, Danielle can feel the terror on the darkness. There’s eerie howling outside her window. And then a band member is killed— ripped to shreds by a wild animal. Danielle knows something is out there, lurking in the moonlight. Something savage…and hungry.
