"No" I whispered.
"No, oh God, no." This couldn't be happening, this isn't real.
I'M NOT SEEING THIS.
But I am. I stood there, shaking, on the verge of hysteria, as the man-no, as the monster with blond hair ripped into the girls throat. I watched the girl as she tried to speak. She looked at me, desperately, and finally manged to gurgle out a single word-
"Run!"
That was when the vampire- with his face covered in blood that dripped down his chin and off his fangs- looked at me, and smiled.
Alexandra (Alex) Aileen was a normal girl. She got okay grades, has a great best friend, Em, and was just 6 months shy of finally graduating from the hell they call high school. And then she goes to a rave where she stumbles upon something more terrifying than school counselors- a monster, a real, live, blood-drink monster. And it changes her life forever. She just has to decide if that change is a good one, or a horrible one...
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.
*****
As dark dreams plague Soren, Ari finds his new abilities difficult to control. Something is awakening within him, and as his power grows, he attracts the attention of a group of witches who call themselves the Hecataeon. They believe Ari is an emanation of the goddess Hecate - a physical manifestation of her power - and they want that power for themselves. With their relationship facing challenges from within, Ari and Soren must find a way to unite their strengths before external forces tear them apart.
