School of Blood (12.3)

    Big Finish Jago and Litefoot Series


J&L are both sent letters declaring that there’s a vampire at St. Cecilia’s School for Girls so they go to investigate. Then things get complicated as Litefoot takes a job as a teacher and Jago tries to figure out if Ellie is a vampire or not. The teachers are falling like flies, the headmistress is out of her league, and there is a vampire around. Or two. Or three. But there’s really only one dangerous one in this story!

The pair do seem to be a bit in the dark in this story. Their usual radar for the weird and suspicious seems to fail them and they only find a vampire girl who is being helped by her friends. And that in itself is pretty darn amazing to me. Hannah is one awesome friend! I do like this story but it’s definitely the weakest of the bunch in my mind. Though it is fun to listen to Litefoot teach a class of unruly school girls.
