The citizens of Fell’s Church in L.J Smith’s TVD novels live in paranormal denial, but the show’s townies are on the hunt. Damon hopes to protect himself from becoming their next victim by grabbing a wooden stake and pretending to play for their team. So far he has the Council fooled. But how long can he possibly pretend to be a vampire hater when he’s really a cold blooded immortal? Better yet, what will happen when his cover is finally blown?
