Schuyler believes that she knows the world she is in, and she believes she is in control but when she learns the truth, she is far from in control. With blonde hair, blue eyes and a smile so pure that one would believe she could do no wrong, innocence dripped from her skin and that was the way that Schuyler preferred it. In reality, she was far from innocent, and even further from pure but that was not what she wanted her prey to think. She needed her innocent facade, and her pure smelling blood in order to trap the wolves in her web, and once trapped the only escape was death. This is not your typical Red Riding Hood story, where Red allowed others to kill the wolves, and where she was too innocent to do anything. No, this is a gruesome, horrific retelling where blood is the main theme and deception follows closely behind.

Even though her therapist assured her nothing would go wrong, Thea gets attacked and sent to purgatory, which is, for someone who is agoraphobic, claustrophobic, germaphobic, the worst nightmare imaginable.

“M-mercy.” His eyes flash red and for a second, I almost believe that he’ll stop — that he’ll put an end to this. But then his lips curl into a cold smile. “Didn’t you know, Allison? There’s no mercy in hell.” ———— There’s a lot of bad blood between Allison Crane and Theo Fontaine. Considering that he’s the reason her life went to hell, Allison isn’t keen on dolling out forgiveness any time soon — but like it or not, the vampire-incubus hybrid is the only man in the city who can save her. The only problem? She has to meet him under his terms - or not at all. When the price of survival may cost her everything — her body, her blood… her heart — just how far is Allison willing to go to save herself? And once Theo sinks his fangs into her… will she even want to?
