"I can't leave you Nettie, I know you see me as a monster, but I love you too much to let you go." This was the first time he let the words "I love you" slip out of his mouth. He waited in silence for my response.
"I have to leave."
Nettie is a 25-year-old girl with a tragic past, her recent death of her parents caused her to drop out of college and move to rural Indiana with her best friend Leander, an unknown vampire. She meets the charming Quill and spirals in a love triangle, where she must pick between her desire of Blood or God.
Ari and Soren's adventures continue as Soren struggles with his new vampiric urges and a coven of witches attempts to recruit Ari for their own ends.
