Straighten your cape and ready your fangs, the ghosts are biting back. The spookiest story you'll read this year is the ghoulish follow-up to Alex Foulkes's highly acclaimed Rules for Vampires.
A vampire and a ghost being friends is unheard of. It makes no sense. The two factions have despised one another for all eternity. But Leo the vampire and Minna the ghost have battled together side-by-side, they're sisters-in-arms, they're best friends, and they'll have to work together to vanquish a new, deadly threat. Summoned to the Ghostly Realm for the murder of the Orphanmaster, Leo must complete three tasks to prove herself worthy of her unlife, each more treacherous than the last. Can Leo convince the Ghostly Realm of her innocence and earn her freedom, or will she be trapped there forever?
A monstrously funny and devilishly dark new adventure in Alex Foulkes's Rules for Vampires series, illustrated throughout by the award-winning Sara Ogilvie, Ghosts Bite Back is perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket and Skulduggery Pleasant to sink their claws into.

Ever heard the joke about the skeleton having no-body to go with to the party? Leo just might find herself in the opposite of that in book 2 of this great series!
Warning: You won’t want to put this book down as it has lots of tension and cliffhangers! The story continues from the first book and it is great to see what happened next. The main character Leo gets a letter which tells her she has to go to Ghostly Court for the murder of the Orphan master or else they will come to her. To get into the Ghostly Realm, Leo has to separate her soul from her body but she doesn’t know how. Ulfric the post-ghost, knows but his help comes at a price which could be dangerous. Will Leo be able to disconnect in time and if she does, what will happen to her body whilst her soul enters the Ghostly Realm?... Read Full Review
Amazingly fantastical and wickedly exciting. Similar to adventure and action books. I hope this series is continued and I will look out for more books by Alex Foulkes.
Rules for Vampires: Ghosts Bite Back is a continuation of the first book, Rules for Vampires. This novel is a totally engrossing and lip-biting tale with Leo the vampire and her ghost friend Minna.... Read Full Review

Rules for Vampires, Ghosts bite back is a ghoulish and monstrously funny read. I just couldn't put it down. The descriptions really capture your imagination and you feel like you are flying through the night sky with the best of friends.
Children around the age of 9 and above would love this story.
