The Pen & the Sword (The Ballad of Nick & Mina Book 1)

"The shadows move, the trees whisper and I'm pretty sure a cat defends the church next door from the Devil - or at least one of his minions." - Nick Stanton

Nick gets a pen and the ability to see and show the supernatural world - Mina gets a sword and super powers. Nick does not think this is remotely fair.

When Halley's Comet passes through the sky in 1986 the new kid in town - Nick - is partnered up with the strange girl in town - Mina - for a Science project. While observing this sometimes twice in a lifetime event, they learn that there are things that go bump in the night. And that its their job to hunt them down!
