THE REST FALLS AWAY is book 1 in my internationally bestselling series The Gardella Vampire Hunters. Starting October 7, 2015, I'm going to upload 1 chapter each week for Wattpad users to read and enjoy. I hope you're prepared for a thrilling adventure!

----
Beneath the glitter of dazzling nineteenth century London Society lurks a bloodthirsty evil...

Vampires have always lived among them, quietly attacking unsuspecting debutantes and dandified lords as well as hackney drivers and Bond Street milliners. If not for the vampire slayers of the Gardella family, these immortal creatures would have long ago taken control of the world.

In every generation, a Gardella is called to accept the family legacy, and this time, Victoria Gardella Grantworth is chosen, on the eve of her debut, to carry the stake. But as she moves between the crush of ballrooms and dangerous moonlit streets, Victoria's heart is torn between London's most eligible bachelor, the Marquess of Rockley, and her dark, dangerous duty.

And when she comes face-to-face with the most powerful vampire in history, Victoria must ultimately make a choice between duty and love.

Praise for The Gardella Vampire Hunters Series

"The undead rise to great heights through Gleason's phenomenal storytelling. She creates a chilling world with the perfect atmosphere of fear and sexual tension." -Romantic Times

"Gleason keeps upping the ante with each novel, weaving the characters around her readers with each engaging conversation and narrative, every stage set of all the appropriate gothic gloom and melting beauty." -Book Fetish

"...Above all, the writing is what recommends this book most. Gleason's writing is sharp and taut, which makes for excellent action sequences, and a plot that travels quickly from the start. The writing strength alone gives me ample reassurance that this potentially plot-heavy series is in the right hands. I'm definitely looking forward to the next installment." -Smart Bitches, Trashy BAll Rights Reserved

Just One Drop by bloodrosesthorns

(Book 1 in the 'Blood Drops' series) Five drops for the vampires who drink it. Four for the creatures who relish in it. Three for the strong who take it. Two for the weak who cower from it. One for the humans from whom it is taken. *** This book, along with all the others in this series, was written in a manic creative frenzy when I was about 11-12 years old. I do not consider it quality work, nor do I find it representative of my writing skills today. I will not take it down, because it is still fairly popular and I enjoy reflecting upon how I have developed my writing over the years. All I ask is that if you choose to read the book(s), please take into consideration that this was written by a tween many years ago, and that I am not the same person (or writer) as I was then. Thank you. *** 16 year old Felicia Winters had a life no one would be proud to call their own. No friends and a dysfunctional family; she had been bullied for most of her life. Until the day when she was captured by vampires, and sold to their prince, Braith. As a mysterious bond forms between them, they both deny it and refuse each other. But as Felicia drifts further and further from him, a rift begins to form within Braith, putting him and his entire kingdom- in fact, the whole world- at risk. But will she be able to love the man who has abused her so much? Or has she already found another love? And as a werewolf rebellion brews in the shadows, they are running out of time. Soon there will only be rubble left to rule over. Will Felicia be able to bring peace to the world, or will the kingdom crumble? For just one drop is never enough. Thanks for your votes and comments, they mean the world to me. Please help me with constructive criticism if you can! (Also, I suck at summaries, so sorry about that). Sequel 'Two More Drops' up now!

The King Of All Vampire Kings (Book 1) ✔️ by S0NDREENJ

Book 1 of (The Awakening Series) {#1 Supernatural} {#1 Paranormal} {#1 Lycans} {#1 Vampire Romance} {#5 Royalty} The world went to shit long before I was born. Humans like me use to believe other species were nothing more than fictional characters, myths, or figures of one's imagination. But that was before vampires left the shadows and decided to reveal their species to the world. I've been told that teenage girls use to fantasize about being swooshed off their feet by those mysterious creatures. Insane. Matter of fact, insane would be an understatement, they were fucking lunatics. Vampires are not some fictional character that would love you like no other. No, vampires are not some sort of myth, and they most certainly are not, a figment of anyone's imagination. They are very real, and they despise the human race. In fact, they have enslaved my entire species and formed a new world. Each continent is owned by a ruthless, bloodsucking, barbaric, the vampire king. Every single one of them has played a part in the war of the awakening, showing no mercy, killing without question. Humans didn't even stand a chance. Our army and world leaders were killed or imprisoned in less than a couple of days. They slaughtered my race, but it didn't stop there. No, that was only the beginning of human suffering. Trust me when I say the death was truly a kindness, because anyone who survived the awakening, would beg for death. I was positive that my suffering would come to an end when I turned eighteen. I was hoping and praying to be marked as a feeder, nothing more, nothing less. Death was the only way out of this world. You see, all of the kings who ruled over the earth were cruel and calculating. They are all tyrants in their own right and they all answered to one vampire. Who was known as the most barbaric of them all and I was marked as his chosen. The King of all Vampire Kings.

The Huntress Becomes the Wolf (Complete) by heartlesstwin

I've always known I was different from the other hunters. My senses were always sharper, my sight more defined. Everything about me screamed different, but yet I was somehow able to hide it. Some of my extra strengths I kept from the other hunters simply because I knew that it would draw unnecessary attention to myself. I already was one of the star hunters simply because of my linage. My father was in charge, with my mother as his second in command. People said I looked just like my parents, with my glossy black hair and storm gray eyes but that was where the similarities ended. I thought that I had hid everything pretty well, but little did I know my so called 'brother' would be the one to ruin it all. Follow Lucie Davis through her world of betrayal, lies, and heartbreak as she tries to discover the meaning of family and the truth about her past as she journeys to uncover her true destiny.

Marienne's lover, Lady Elisabeta, believing her to be truly gone, flings herself to her own demise. When Lady Marienne rises from the grave, she finds that the love of her life has ended hers. In her moment of despair, she calls upon the Goddess of Moons to bring back her lost love, inadvertently cursing her to reincarnate as a werewolf. Eighty years later, Marienne tracks down the reincarnated Lady Elisabeta, only to find that she has no memory of her past life and is now engaged to a Mr. Jonathan Harker.

Lovers reunite in a dark entwining of souls; a morbid wedding of ghouls and ghosts. _______________ Warning This is an erotic romance and is rated mature (18+) for explicit content (smut, lol), as well as dark themes and potential triggers - blood/gore, and there's some murder (cause it's a vampire book, duh!)
