"We have the privilege of indulging in the most base of human instinct - why refuse?" Julian looked at me from under his ashen eyelashes as he leaned back in the divan with the cotton ball dog in his lap. His voice was hoarse from the opium, his lips cracked. I couldn't help finding him even more beautiful this way. Golden locks fell around the sides of his face. His mouth still smudged with blood. I needed to kiss him.
Elika has perfected the art of passivity. Bent to her mother's every wish, quiet as the dust gathering on the floor boards. With Farid entering her mother's life, the dark tangle of her past begins to unfold.
They are the forgotten, the brutal, the sensual. Julian inscribed it on her body, burned it into the back of her corneas. His touch seared her skin, the weight of his presence crushed her chest, the way he inhaled her skin tore at her ghost. For him she would do anything. It's been said that the one truly unforgivable crime is matricide. No one is more loving than mother.
This is the demon mother created.
Mature, vulgar language. Horror, erotic, noir.
My first story after a ten year break *phew* Anxiety levels at maximum.

A girl, a boy and a set of sharp canines-how do you survive in a world where humans and vampires live together?
Nineteen-year-old Maya has too much on her plate. Trying to protect her younger sister. Struggling with crushes on unsuitable guys. Justin is a newly converted vampire, battling to resist the urge to kill and desperately worried about his brother, converted at the same time but AWOL ever since. If the authorities find him first, he's toast.
When the two of them meet through the vampire Maya earmarks to help her with an exciting project aimed at making money, both are taken aback by the mutual attraction. First rule of vampire-human integration though...? You don't go that far.
And while living in this bleak world poses its own hazards, not least because those in charge are too ready to ride rough shod over vampires and happy to accept backhanders, Maya and Justin still need to cope with the day to day stuff. Going to college, fighting with your mum, obsessing over the food you can't eat, dealing with unpopularity and online trolls.
