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

The house has gained a lot of ground since we got back. Healing itself. 


Which is nice and all, but doesn’t really offer much in the way of real safety. Now that The Crimson Circle not only knows where we are but also knows that our defenses are weakened, it’s starting to feel more and more like a trap.


I suppose that’s exactly what it’s been. Even from the beginning. 


We were woefully unprepared for everything waiting for us here. Now we’re paying the price. Thomas is taking it very hard, sequestering himself in the study and burying himself in work. As if doubling down now will somehow make up for all the missteps we’ve made along the way.


Much as I’d like to tell him none of this is his fault, he’s the one who brought Naida in. He trusted her, and that very nearly got us all killed.
