I never wanted to go to Mardi Gras. The wild parties, the chaos—none of it was for me. But my sister Raya lives for it, and spending time with her means everything. So, I went, determined to survive the madness for her sake.
Then I met him. A man so captivating it was impossible to look away. There was something dangerous about him, something eerily familiar, but I couldn’t place it. Not until the night that changed everything.
What started as a night of fun and celebration turned into a nightmare. Creatures that shouldn’t exist attacked us. The supernatural world isn’t real… at least, I thought it wasn’t. But now Raya is missing, and no one will believe me.
I know what I saw. I know she’s out there somewhere. But can I find her before it’s too late? And more terrifyingly—am I next?


Bloodborne Secrets

I was right about one thing—bringing Emily along was the perfect distraction. It threw the spotlight on us when we arrived, but everyone has been too busy looking at her to give Azriel or I a second glance.


To be honest, it’s even hard for me to have eyes for anybody else. She’s captivating. The dark dress clings to her in all the right ways, throwing into high relief all the glorious, porcelain skin it reveals. Watching her bend and sway in Azriel’s arms ignites that covetous prickle in my chest.


Because he’s seen every inch of that body and I haven’t.


But I can’t let her mesmerizing presence cloud my brain. There’s definitely shit going down tonight, and thanks to Azriel’s keen attention, I’ve been able to at least take note of most of it.
