When we first met Rayne McDonald, she was getting ready to become a vampire, only to have those dreams taken
away from her when the guy who was supposed to transform her bit her twin sister instead. Then she discovered that
her destiny wasn’t to become a vampire but to slay the bad ones. So she then joined Slayer, Inc. to fulfill her destiny,
only to have one of her missions bite back -- literally. And the vampire who bit her, Maverick, infected her with a
virus, and the only way to be saved was for Jareth to change Rayne into a vampire. But now both are infected, and
Rayne is on leave since Slayer, Inc. just can’t ruin their image by having a vampire as one of their employees.
The good thing is that Rayne and Jareth can stay in the sun. The bad news is, they are pretty much the weakest
vampires out there, physically.
Now back in school, Rayne thinks she doesn’t have any problems to worry about. That is, until Slayer, Inc. decides
to give Rayne another mission.
Turns out that the star football player at Rayne’s school, Mike Stevens, is missing, and the cheerleaders are the
suspects, since it seems like they aren’t just regular cheerleaders, since regular cheerleaders aren’t usually
werewolves, too. So now Slayer, Inc. wants Rayne to be a little less goth and a bit more preppy, and to try out for
the cheerleading squad, which would makes this the worst mission EVER! Of course Rayne can’t deny the mission,
since she still has the nanovirus which Slayer, Inc. injected into her bloodstream, and if it were released, the tiny
wood inside the virus would go straight to her heart. And Jareth, who is now able to stay in the sun, begins to spend
more time at the beach, trying to go from pale to super tan.
This is one story that's sure to keep you one your toes. Although fully satisfying, GIRLS THAT GROWL leaves you
thirsty for more.
