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

You know what? I can’t let it go that easily.


Whatever just happened between Leander and I—almost happened—it’s too powerful for me to just let it drop and go about my day.


More importantly, I can’t let him drown it in scotch and pretend it didn’t happen. Because I know he felt it every bit as strongly as I did. Judging by the look in his eyes, maybe even more.


If Thomas and Azriel left me in his care so we could get to know each other better, then this is the first step. Talking through whatever complicated bullshit we’ve got, and trying to learn not only who we are to each other, but who we’re supposed to be.


“Hang on,” I call after him down the hall. He doesn’t even break his stride.


“I said wait!” Jogging after him, I catch up just before he rounds the corner. “We’re not done talking.”


“Yes we are,” he says gruffly, not looking at me.
