"Now" the vampire crooned, appearing right before me, the blade in my mouth, pressing to the corner of it, his dark eyes gleaming. "I see that you scowl a lot. Who wouldn't? You're a Diávolos. A vampire." He cocked his head to the side. " I see that you're a fan of The Joker, no?" He chuckled. "Why so serious Eros?" I stiffened. "I'm going to give you a great, big, smile" he whispered, clutching the knife harder in his pale hand. He pressed the blade further into the corner of my mouth, cutting through my skin. Blood welled, and I groaned, pulling on the rope binding my hands. He chuckled, and with one great thrust of his arm, he cut through my skin, giving me a great, big smile... +|+|+ Eros Hades, a simple teenager, tries to live his traumatic life as an outsider. Having his parents murdered before his eyes--throats slit and wrists slashed--by a psychotic satanist of sorts, Eros struggles to connect with the world around him. He has no one. No friends, no real family. Nothing. Until he is turned. Eros, and a cocky, narssassistic vampire by the name of Maverick, try to hunt down the crazy, cult-leading immortal who slaughtered Eros' parents. But he has something else to worry about; Kathryn, a vampire slayer who doesn't suspect the true demon Eros is. Eros must befriend her and gain her trust, without sinking his fangs into her neck. But in the mist of an apocalypse like no other, risks must be taken. The line between Immortal and mortals blur as new truths come to light. Can Eros not be the monster he is destined to become? Or will he become exactly that? Time is in short supply, even for the most powerful of immortals...
