Shadows of the Sun

"Do you do this often?" I whispered, trying not to let my voice shake. "Midnight grave robbing?"

Zee didn't even glance at me. His footsteps were silent, predatory, moving ahead with effortless confidence.

"Only on first dates," he said, dry as the ground we were standing on.

I blinked. "...So I'm special."

"Don't flatter yourself," he replied without breaking stride. "You're just light enough to run if the corpse gets angry."

I swallowed, the thrill of danger mixing with something else I didn't quite recognize. "Wow. You really know how to make a guy feel safe."

He paused, glancing over his shoulder. Moonlight caught the sharp angles of his face, and for a second, I saw something beneath the iciness-like a predator enjoying the chase. "Don't get used to it," he said. "I'm not exactly a tour guide."

NuNew has always been a ray of sunshine in a dark world-but when he starts sensing the unliving, the supernatural suddenly becomes terrifyingly real. Enter Zee: brooding, deadly, and cursed to walk the line between protector and predator.

And their idea of quality time together? Midnight in a fog-choked graveyard, where corpses aren't the only things to fear. Between dodging ancient curses, battling a sister whose hunger has lasted since the dawn of time, and navigating cities where shadows move on their own, NuNew finds himself inexplicably drawn to Zee-who makes it very clear that keeping him alive is the last thing he owes anyone.

Sarcasm meets danger, light meets dark, and in a world where hunger can't be tamed, love is the riskiest curse of all.
