Marlen Blackthorn never asked to be normal. At eighteen, she's a vampire with hair as dark as midnight, ghostly red roots that burn like embers, and a thirst that Nevermore's blood supply can barely keep under control. But when she arrives at the academy for her first year, she quickly learns that bottled blood won't be enough. Not for her. Then she sees her. Ms. Capri-Nevermore's music teacher, a werewolf with golden eyes, sharp instincts, and secrets buried deeper than anyone knows. To Marlen, she's more than a teacher. She's temptation in its purest form. The problem? Winning Ms. Capri's trust won't be easy, not with Wednesday Addams watching from the shadows, a string of stolen blood stirring whispers through the halls, and Marlen's hunger growing harder to resist each day. Blood. Secrets. Desire. Will Marlen control her thirst-or let it consume her heart?
