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

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.
