In a world where vampires, werewolves, succubi, and other underdwellers live alongside humans, few believe witches exist. Magic is the result of generations of mating between monsters, so wouldn't witches be the worst of them all? Vicki isn't sure. Her pitiful magic only serves to make things smell nice and her only goal is to use it to save herself from bankruptcy. That isn't the way Evan, a prideful vampire sees it, especially after being nearly killed by her. He's out for blood, she's out for money, and love is out to get them both. An 18+ split POV romantasy scented with magic, banter, monster brawls, dirtbag exes, and a dash of spice!

Who knew dusting a couple of rogue vampires would make high school harder? Last year, Mia helped eliminate some rival vampires wreaking havoc on her city. She thought that victory had bought her a shot at normalcy-grades, gossip, maybe even a real date with the cute boy in her history class. But normal dies fast when a note appears in her locker with a single message: someone knows what she did. Suddenly Mia's not planning movie nights-she's rearranging her life around the demands of her blackmailer. Exposure doesn't just mean social ruin; it means being labeled a ruthless executioner who eliminates her competition. The shadows are closing in. Her friend's sudden, obsessive curiosity about the undead is raising alarms. And her new boyfriend? He's hiding something dark, something primal-a secret so monstrous, Mia might not survive the truth. 🔸Note: This is the sequel to You Were What You Eat, but you 𝒅𝒐 𝒏𝒐𝒕 have to have read that book to enjoy this one.🔸
