Bookroo's summary

In Nightshade, California, psychic teen Daisy Giordano faces a chilling mystery. A new student, Duke, predicts a teacher's death, and when it comes true, Daisy must uncover the truth. As clues suggest a werewolf is involved, Daisy questions Duke's powers and her own abilities. Can she solve the murder before becoming the next target?

From the publisher

A creepy, campy new mystery series Welcome to Nightshade, California–a small town full of secrets. It’s home to the psychic Giordano sisters, who have a way of getting mixed up in mysteries. During their investigations, they run across everything from pom-pom-shaking vampires to shape-shifting boyfriends to a clue-spewing jukebox. With their psychic powers and some sisterly support, they can crack any case! There’s a gorgeous new guy at Nightshade High: Duke Sherrad, a fortune-teller claiming to have descended from Gypsies. Even though she’s psychic herself, Daisy is skeptical of Duke’s powers. But when a teacher who was the subject of one of his predictions ends up dead, she begins to wonder if Duke is the real deal after all. Maybe if Daisy can track down the teacher’s killer, she can find out the truth. The only trouble is, all signs point to the murderer being of the furry persuasion. Is Daisy any match for a werewolf? Maybe she is . . . in more ways than she bargained for!
