He sees the whole world in red.
Except her.
Since birth, David Walker has only ever viewed the world in shades of red. Every sky, every street, every face - one color, his whole life, with a single exception: vampires appear to him in gray.
It's the only reason his father's work is possible. Walter Walker is a Vampire Hunter, and David is the son he raised to spot monsters hiding in plain sight. Fourteen years old, and David has already helped kill more of them than he can count.
Then Tessa Scarlet transfers to his school. She's popular, funny, effortlessly kind - and completely gray.
David doesn't turn her in. He can't explain why, not even to himself, and every day he doesn't is a day closer to the moment his father finds out. Because Tessa isn't just unregistered. She's hiding from Hunters exactly like him - and the closer David gets to her, the harder it becomes to remember why he was ever supposed to hate what she is. In a city where an illegal hunting syndicate pays by the body and a government agency watches from the shadows, David is caught between the only two things he's ever been sure of: his father, and the girl he was trained to kill.
He can only keep one.
