Trailing along behind her father's Gucci luggage, American teenager Lexie Carpenter comes to Tokyo in another move by the globe-trotting super executive. Isolated at her new school by a cruel clique of girls, Lexie is drawn to an ad online for an international friendship club. The Club. Welcoming, beautiful, sophisticated. Her new friends are everything she has always wanted. Lexie's life fills up with glittering, A-list parties, French Champagne and Italian-accented romance. Too bad she doesn't know there's more behind those sparkling smiles than perfect teeth. Her friends are monsters.

Betrayed and left for dead, her soul ripped out and divided into three pieces as prizes in the Club's terrible lottery, Lexie is resurrected by a silver-haired, green-eyed young sorcerer, Julian Lake. How ironic that the English boy is a monster as well and may want to kill her himself.

Death has only been postponed if she can't find the Soul Eaters and put this broken girl back together. Lexie has no choice but join forces with the enigmatic sorcerer as she claws her way up the supernatural food chain.

On the way, she collects an odd assortment of allies including a massive and slightly slobbery Shadow Hound with a taste for human flesh; a world famous rock singer who also happens to be a magical half-daemon (that's a secret) and gorgeous (that's not) and a very good kisser (that's only a secret from the sorcerer); plus two handsome Japanese brothers who happen to be kami, god-like spirits of earth and air, who tell her she isn't even human. How is that helping?

Lexie's paranormal learning curve gets slippery with the blood of demons, goblins and the damned. The sorcerer is looking more and more dangerous but at the same time strangely attractive â€" how wrong is that? And in the battle for the return of the first piece of her soul, Lexie learns the betrayals go much deeper than she could have imagined. Blood deep.

Eleventh grade was supposed to be a tough year, but who thought it could be fatal?
