When they cause a job to go bad, threatening a sixteen-year-old girl, Nate swears to protect her.

Vampires: murderous creatures in the shape of humans, they stalk the night feeding on the blood of innocents.

But what happens when those rules no longer apply?

As the daughter of Dracula, you would think I’d be born the perfect monster. You couldn’t be more wrong. As far as monsters go, I’m a screw up—if I’m not tripping over my own feet, I’m accidentally murdering someone (it’s a real issue, guys).

When bodies turn up on campus, I’m the prime suspect (not that I can blame them).

"I look like an all-American grad student. But I am a werecat, a shape-shifter, and I live in two worlds. Despite reservations from my family and my Pride, I escaped the pressure to continue my species and carved out a normal life for myself. Until the night a Stray attacked."

I used to hunt witches. Now I live with one. To further complicate things, my past as a supernatural bounty hunter doesn’t exactly make me popular in these new circles I’m running in.
