This romance-thriller is about a girl who is on the run from her devastating past and the cause of her trauma. Josephine "Joey" McIntyre was a happy, normal girl in California, with a loving family, a great home, and an amazing boyfriend. But everything changed when "the monster" came, and now Joey must make difficult decisions on her journey to revenge as a bloodthirsty creature tracks her down.
This book has got vampires (not the twilight kind!!), a plot twist, romance and tragedy. I also hope that I wrote a decently strong but also realistic female lead.
⚠️there may be some violence, strong language, and smut here-sorry!
