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

I jerk upright in my bed, panting as if I’ve run a hundred miles. Pouring with so much sweat, the sheets are soaked. My heart’s pounding so hard it feels like I’m about to explode.


Looking at the empty bed next to me only adds fuel to the fire of my darkest fears. Straining my ears above my feverish breathing, all I can think is how quiet the house is. 


Leaping out of bed, I strip off my sodden pajamas and wrestle my way into some clothes. I’m raring to go before I even have the slightest idea where I’m headed or what I might be walking into. All I know is that Emily’s gone. I can feel her absence in this house like a gaping hole in my guts. 


The bond should have woken me before now. Putting a hand in the center of my chest to still my heart, I sense that the link between Emily and I has shifted. I can feel her, but only faintly. Not gone, just… far. Different.
