Lilian Quinn

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

“It has to be here,” Tatiana says, and when I look at her, I’m stunned by her beauty. Like she’s lit from the inside. Even with her forehead scrunched in concentration, she’s perfectly radiant.


How is it possible to be this beautiful and this afraid at the same time?


“We’ll find it,” I assure her, despite a plummeting feeling in my gut that tells me it’s a lost cause.


“We have to. For Leander.” Then she looks at me and my heart slams to a halt in my chest.


I know it’s Tatiana. This is the cottage where she’s hidden me, and she’s dressed as she always is, speaking as she’s always spoken.
