In Fool's Blood, Wild West enthusiast Daniel Simon is about to learn that while curiosity kills the cat, it often thrills the bat.

Intrigued by the legend of the Lost Dutchman Mine near Apache Junction, Arizona, Daniel embarks on a weekend excursion with his fiancé, Amber Goldwyn, to Lost Dutchman State Park. Joined by his coworker Kevin Benningmun, the trio sets out to scale Flatiron Peak. Daniel soon finds himself separated by the others when he falls deep within the mountaintop. Inside, he indeed finds the gold mine.Yet it isn’t long until his trip turns into a nightmare. Amber gets mad at him and leaves him stranded at Lost Dutchman. Kevin disappears under mysterious circumstances involving Kevin’s phone soaking in a puddle of spilt blood. And the park ranger, Hattie Laurence, dismisses Daniel’s complaints without a second thought.

But if Daniel thinks he can make it back to his apartment in Phoenix, he’s sadly mistaken. Because the gold mine he found belongs to a vampire named Loren Blackfyre. And Loren’s grandson, Marcus, has marked Daniel as his next victim to subjugate through a mental thrall.

Can Daniel stop the bloodsuckers from making him one of their own? And what dark secret does Ranger Laurence herself carry?
