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’s like every time Azriel gets close to me, I freeze up. His offspring is growing inside me, and I can’t bring myself to let him know. The words stick in my throat every time.


Azriel has always had a volatile, quicksilver temper, but I’ve never seen anything like this. He was absolutely feral. Animal. Dangerous. 


A shiver runs over me to think it. I’ve known what Azriel was from the very beginning. His infernal origins and the blazing impulses that drive his nature, but this? The way he looked into my eyes paralyzed me. Like he was staring into the depths of my soul and trying to rip up my secrets by the roots.


A sob chokes out of my throat, and I double over and surrender to them, wailing until my throat is raw.
