From that first meeting, River turns Hallie's life upside down and she is introduced to a world she has only read about in books. Vampires, crime, and mystery become her new life. Their relationship is put to the test as they try to catch a vampire serial killer and be with each other. Will they make it out on top?

As I look closer, I can see a pair of eyes watching me through the crowd. Ignoring my pounding heart, realization washes over me.

Mysteries Around Him

“Y-You want me to stay with you? Here?”


My heart is still hammering in my chest from the kiss we shared moments ago, and now he wants me to spend the night with him? How did this go from me pacing in front of River’s bedroom to him kissing me and asking me to stay? My head is spinning but in a good way. 


River nods against my forehead. The soft strands of his hair sweep against my skin, and I close my eyes as images of me running my fingers through them come to mind, showing me what I could miss out on if I decline his offer.


Although I have never done anything like this before – hell, I didn’t have my first kiss until five minutes ago – I don’t want to imagine what I’ll miss out on if I revert to my ways of being nervous to try new things, and instead put myself out there when it scares the sh*t out of me.
