Irresistibly drawn to the androgynous blood drinking killer, Bridget must quell her desire to submit to darkness and death before she loses more than just her life.
Moving to any town in Northern England can be a struggle, especially when you have no friends or family there. However, like every outcast Bridget makes it her goal to disappear into the little town Mortebury. She gets herself a nice boyfriend, makes sensible friends, works hard at school. Outside of the tidy little life Bridget has made for herself, you would think working as an illegal erotic dancer in a strip club might be enough of a double life, but not for this sassy seventeen-year-old. Bridget comes face to face with a dangerous young woman, who both sets her thighs on fire and freezes her to the core. This androgynous individual forces Bridget to come face to face with her past, her present and her destiny. Self-discovery should be about masturbation, and learning to love your body, right? Not finding out that you're a descendant of an ancient line of warriors defending humanity from the darkest of the supernatural underworld. But then, Bridget was always one to march to the sound of her own drum.
A very modern and feminist take on the heteronormative, teen vampire fiction genre. With LGTBQ references, some Nordic mythology, discussions about mental health, gender identity, abusive relationships, sex work, family, addiction and female empowerment, this book packs a very feminine punch.

"What route do you take when bloodline runs out?"
-
Nigel just wants to be noticed. Not by his crush, his friends or even his auxiliary parents. All he wants is the attention of his biological ones.
Just that it is their very attention that seems bent on eluding him. He lives up to their expectations, does everything they want, flies at the top of his grade. Still nothing.
His twin seems to have no problem earning their love and affection. That's just what he wants and he doesn't really see why he should be earning it. It's his right and parental love is just what he should have. Unreservedly.
Or is it?
Torn between wondering what exactly the problem is with him or what he could do to make things better, he tries to finish his school year in the midst of neglect, figure out his enigmatic girlfriend and find himself- plus all that comes with it.
