description: Seventeen-year-old Maggie Cunningham is tough smart and sassy. She's also not like other girls her age but then who would be when the family business is monster hunting? Combat boots ratty hooded sweatshirts and hair worn short so nothing with claws can get a grip Maggie's concerns in life slant more toward survival than fashion or boys. Which presents a problem when Maggie's mother informs Maggie that she can't get her journeyman's license for hunting until she loses her virginity.Something about virgin blood turning vampires into pointy rage monsters. Blood and gore and insides being on the outside and all that. Maggie's battled ghosts and goblins and her fair share of house brownies but finding herself a boy - fitting in with her peers - proves a much more daunting task than any monster hunt. Did you know normal girls don't stuff their bras with holy water balloons? Nor do they carry wooden stakes in their waistbands. And they care about things like matching and footwear. Of course they also can't clean a gun blindfolded shoot a crossbow or exorcise ghosts from a house. Which means they're lame and Maggie's not. Because Maggie's awesome. The Awesome in fact. Just ask her. She'd be more than happy to tell you. After she finds herself a date.
