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

The splitting grin on my face as I walk out the front doors of the dorm building is in response to seeing Hallie lying in bed with nothing but a sheet covering her as she watches me with seductive eyes. She didn’t want me to leave and trust me when I say I didn’t want to either, but I had to get some fresh air. 


The late evening breeze brushes against the exposed skin of my chest. I didn’t bother putting a shirt on because it is 2 a.m. and there shouldn’t be anyone around at this time of the night. Besides, I have to let the fresh scratch marks on my back breathe. Thanks, Hallie. 


I inhale slowly as I walk down the steps and stand on the pathway, enjoying the way my warm skin begins to cool down and I’m finally able to get some air into my lungs. Whenever I’m with Hallie, I sometimes forget to breathe because I’m so consumed by her that I feel like I’m suffocating, in a good way, of course.
