Hellhounds Ate My Homework. Justin won Elyssa's heart and saved his dad from rogue vampires, but just when he thinks he can ride off into the sunset on a white horse, trouble not only knocks on his door, it plows through it with hellhounds. Spawn relatives with their own agendas, vampires running amok, and his father marked for death, it seems there's no end to the kinds of monsters out to make Justin's life miserable. It's almost enough to make him long for the days of man boobs, Kings and Castles, and nerd status. With a list of impossible quests growing faster than he can keep up, tracking down the deadliest assassin in the world may prove easier than winning the approval of Elyssa's parents. The clock ticking, and dark forces on his heels, Justin gets a crash course in the mysteries and dangers of the Overworld. But with Elyssa by his side and his growing menagerie of friends, impossible odds suddenly seem possible again.

"Anything else?" "They said they were proud of me, sir." The absurdity of that lie almost made me burst into hysterical laughter. Instead, they'd informed me the blood sample I'd submitted for testing as part of the standard procedure for joining the
stared at the house, my instincts screaming at me to get the hell outta Dodge while my heart told me although the timing wasn't exactly ideal, I should do the whole "meet the parents" thing and see just how bad it was. Elyssa seemed to sense what I was thinking. "Don't even try," she said her lips pressed tight. "I have to meet your parents," I said gently. "I love you. I'd do anything for you. Surely me and your parents can get over our differences." "You don't know my dad." "Exactly."
usual. Father would scare him off or she'd drive him away by showing him just how little she needed anyone to take care of her. This couldn't be happening. Not to her. God, it hurt so bad. She punched her pillow. Punched it again. Picked it up and threw it against the wall where it hit with a muted thud. Elyssa got out of bed and paced the room wanting to smash the simple wooden furniture to pieces and scream and rage until the agony in her heart went away and left her alone. How could
imagined a trail of crushed and smoking cars as the Incredible Hulk's white brother plowed through them like the Kool-Aid man. "Look." Dad pointed toward some high-voltage power lines to our left. A swath of green clearing ran underneath them, vanishing over a hill in the distance. It wasn't a road, but we could avoid automobile carnage and earn the gratitude of insurance claims adjustors everywhere. I sucked in a breath and veered in that direction. "Let's go." We made it up the long hill
said, feeling guilt creep into my voice. I hoped they weren't ticked off that all their work was for nothing. We descended the stairs to the sounds of classical music and the delicious aroma of cooking food drifting up to greet us. I stepped inside and stared at Ryland, who was wearing an apron stating, This is where the magic happens, as he stirred a medley of veggies and meat in a large wok on the gas stove.
