Monsters are evil, so why does Jake want to rescue one?Tobias can't remember why he was locked inside Freak Camp when he was five. All he knows are the camp rules: Other monsters are not your friends. Never disobey the guards. Don't expect anything to get better. The world is safer with him behind these iron-reinforced walls. But then he meets a hunter's son who defies all the rules. Jake is not just the only bright spot in his world but proof that goodness exists. The heir to a long line of monster hunters, Jake's only purpose is to stamp out evil. He carries his faith that all monsters are evil to the government-run Freak Camp, where shy, sweet-natured Tobias shakes up all he's ever known and shifts his purpose from hunting monsters to protecting one. Two lonely young men, damaged in different ways, find themselves drawn together despite the odds. Freeing Tobias into a world where he can define his own rules could cost Jake his family and the only life he's ever known. But failure carries an even higher price, for Tobias's life hangs in the balance.
