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

A shiver races over every inch of me. I squeeze her hand tightly, waiting for her eyes to meet mine.


“You want it too,” I ask, suddenly breathless. She nods, and my joints turn to water.


“Thomas, more than anything. More than my life.”


“But the danger…” It feels so treacherous to say this out loud, but we’re laying all our secrets on the sheets. “The things I might do…”


Emily shakes her head, cheeks rosy with absolute trust.


“I trust you, Thomas,” she whispers. “I know you’d never hurt me.” Just when I feel like my heart is about to sail out of my chest and leave me empty, Emily bites her lower lip and grins wickedly. “Unless I wanted you to.”


“Troublemaker.” We both laugh, then she pulls down the blanket and gestures for me to join her under the covers.


Kisses come as timidly as if we were coming together for the first time. So often with her I’m consumed by desire so much that we wind up ravaging each other. In the end, we’re left sweaty, flushed, and gasping for air.
