Imagine Interview with the Vampire had a deeply repressed love child with Call Me By Your Name, and then handed that child a knife, a secret, and a psychic bond.
A romantic horror with found family, forbidden magic, and a slow descent into love that just might kill them both.
Cruz Ramos has spent decades hunting the vampires who destroyed his family. Armed with half-memories and a perfect plan, he sets his sights on a charming bloodsucker in a quiet New York town. One drink, one date, and Dante Ledoux will be dead. That's the plan.
But Dante isn't what he expected. Stoic, disciplined, and impossibly old, Dante hasn't tasted human blood in centuries-until Cruz. One bite shatters the past. Memory magic falters, and suddenly, Cruz finds himself drawn into a mystery that blurs the line between vengeance and something dangerously close to desire.
When a brutal pair of vampire twins threatens Cruz's life, long-buried truths begin to surface. If they want to survive, Cruz and Dante will have to face the shadows of the past-and decide if love is worth the risk of becoming the very thing they fear.
Deliciously dark and unexpectedly tender. The slow-burn romance hooked me, but it's the trauma, teeth, and found family that made me stay. If you love vampires with ethics, lovers with baggage, and revenge that bites back, this book is for you.
