Nine Lives in Neon Lights
In the heart of Tokyo's neon-lit chaos, Akira Yamamoto thought her biggest problem was surviving university and her part-time job at a 24-hour convenience store. That was before the night she died—and came back.
When a freak accident should have killed her, Akira awakens to find a fox tail sprouting from her spine and the supernatural world of Tokyo laid bare before her eyes. Half-human, half-kitsune, she's thrust into a hidden society where vampires run multinational corporations, werewolf packs claim territory through corporate mergers, and witches brew more than just coffee in Shibuya's underground.
But power comes with a price. Each new tail Akira grows makes her more supernatural—and less human. As she navigates the treacherous politics of Tokyo's supernatural elite, she finds herself caught between four irresistible forces:
**Ryouta Kuroda** - A centuries-old vampire CEO whose cold exterior hides burning desire and dangerous secrets that could destroy them both.
**Takeshi Mori** - The fierce werewolf pack leader fighting to protect his territory from supernatural gentrification, whose protective instincts awaken something primal in Akira.
**Yuki Sato** - A brilliant witch-hacker whose family's ancient magic merged with cutting-edge technology makes her both Akira's greatest ally and most dangerous temptation.
**Hiroshi Tanaka** - Her achingly normal human best friend whose love might be the anchor that keeps her humanity intact—if she can keep him alive long enough.
As corporate wars rage in boardrooms and ancient grudges spill blood in back alleys, Akira must master her growing powers before they consume her humanity entirely. But in a city where loyalty is bought, love is weaponized, and every supernatural being has an agenda, the greatest danger might be her own heart.
Some secrets are worth dying for. Others are worth killing for. And some will cost you everything you thought you were.
**Nine lives, nine tails, infinite possibilities—and one choice that will change everything.**
