She was raised to kill vampires… until she fell for one... Maria Foster was raised to kill vampires—no fear, no mercy, no attachments.

A dark figure murdered Larissa Norton’s father before coming after her and her mother. To save Larissa, her mother placed her on a train, where she fell asleep and later woke up alone…and very confused. See, vampires don’t sleep. That train delivered her to the safety of a coven where witches, vampires, werewolves, and shape-shifters live and learn together. She discovered the coven was more than it appeared, much more. It was a school full of orphans like her. All needing to learn how to hone their abilities and live in the world of humans.

Maria Foster died saving the vampires she once vowed to kill—but death wasn’t the end. It was a beginning.

Maria Foster’s move to Savannah, a small coastal town in Georgia, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But not much of her life was boring. She has lost count of how many times she and her grandfather have moved. He reminds her often that it comes with their responsibility. That responsibility, being a vampire hunter. They either move on after the job is done, or fleeing when they have been found, like now. She has never stayed in one place, or been the same person, for long.

When my boyfriend asked me to go on a weekend getaway to his family’s cabin, I pictured evenings cuddled on the couch by the fireplace and candlelit dinners. Time for us to reconnect, and if I was picking up on all of his mixed signals, maybe he was going to propose.
