They'd had their happily ever after - at least for the span of two decades. With Allorian being terminally ill, Dael has no choice but to turn him. Neither was prepared for the consequences, though, and Allorian suddenly finds his hands painted red by innocent blood. Sequel to Blood Donor. You don't have to read the first novel, yet it would help greatly with understanding the characters and their relationships. The storylines are entirely different, though, since they are set decades apart. If you didn't read the first novel or are still debating whether to do so, make sure to check out the author's note on the first page! If you're into vampiric madness, you're in for a treat. This is about urges; the urge to feed and to fuck - and to forget. Pleasure in ways unknown to humans, and sick satisfaction. Suddenly being a vampire isn't easy, and I'm going to show you why. - Credit for the pictures used for the cover go to Cassi Josh, Adam Cybulski, and Mads Schmidt Rasmussen, who all made them available via Unsplash.

Follow Tristan as he shares his story, the story of every girl he loved, of every girl he killed, and of the one love that felt impossible to end, even for him.

Vera Markov was born into this life. She did not choose it. Had she been given the choice, she never would have even considered this life to be an option. She was born a human but she was raised to be a monster. A killer, a fighter, a warrior. She was trained until there was no more humanity left inside of her, there was only cruelty, hatred, and apathy. She lived under her father's rule, executing his demands to the syllable. Dante Berardi knew her pain. He too was born a human, raised to be a monster. A killer, fighter, and a warrior too. They are practically the same person, except for the fact that they were also raised to hate each other. They were both born to rival crime families in the same city, fighting over money, territory, and just about anything else that they could fight over. Vera and Dante have never met until Vera is sent undercover to get answers from Dante's side of the city. She gets much more than she bargained for, finding answers to questions that she's never asked and feeling human emotions that she's never felt before. As she discovers more about herself and her past, Vera starts to wonder if the monster inside of her can ever be conquered or if she's doomed to this life forever.

Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||
