Evan's dream of being Crestwood's next top detective never included surviving a blood moon, fighting off supernatural stalkers, or sharing an office with four "private investigators" who look more like models than law enforcement. Especially not their boss: Claude-cold, impossibly strong, and infuriatingly attractive. Claude was assigned to protect Evan. Evan would rather chew glass than admit he needs it. But when Crestwood is rocked by a series of unexplainable attacks, Evan and Claude are forced to work side-by-side. Sparks fly (and not the romantic kind... at first). Every conversation is a battle, every glance a dare. Evan is reckless, stubborn, and has a knack for getting under Claude's skin. Claude is secretive, stubborn, and way too good at pretending not to care. The more Evan learns about the world of vampires, the more dangerous-and tempting-his protector becomes. And the more Claude tries to keep his distance, the harder it is to ignore the pull between them. Enemies. Partners. Maybe something more. Welcome to Crestwood, where the biggest danger isn't the monsters outside-it's falling for the one assigned to guard your heart. This book contains: Enemies-to-Lovers | Slow-Burn | Found Family | Disaster Squad Vibes

Finn spent years hiding-first from his small town, then from the high school bully who made every day a quiet nightmare. Now, trapped on a college campus overrun by the undead, Finn is forced to rely on the last person he ever wanted to see: Rook, the boy who once broke him, now fighting tooth and nail to keep him alive. With every sprint down blood-slick halls and every brush of hands while patching wounds, the old rules start to blur. As monsters close in and trust becomes the rarest currency, Finn finds himself wondering: what's scarier-the hunger in the eyes of the dead, or the confusing warmth in Rook's gaze? In a world where survival means facing both flesh-eating horrors and buried pain, Finn must decide if the real danger is outside-or if it's letting himself fall for the boy who was supposed to be his enemy. When the world ends, will you run from your past... or fight for the chance to rewrite it?
