After a string of devastating losses, Leah Blackwood retreats to a forgotten town, drawn to the crumbling Victorian mansion next door-the one everyone warns her to avoid. They say people disappear inside it. That it keeps them.
She doesn't listen.
Because behind those rotting walls lives a man with hollow eyes and a crooked smile. Gerard is strange, sharp vampire and terrifyingly magnetic... and somehow, he already seems to know her. As Leah spirals deeper into obsession, she uncovers a truth more chilling than any local legend: the house doesn't just take people. It feeds on them.
And Gerard?
He's its prisoner. And its predator.
Torn between a best friend who loves her and a monster who sees her soul, Leah must choose-run before it's too late, or stay and become part of the house's next story.
Because the house doesn't let go.
And it always wants one more.
