When the heroes are creatures, who is the enemy?
I look down at my hands. Strings. From my fingertips are strings. I can't see them, but I have them, without question, and tied at every end is a noose.
Sarah was created to destroy deathless creatures. But now, with the ghosts of her predecessors trapped in her mind, she is unraveling. Dark ribbons of ideas curl around her heart and ribcage, urging her to fulfill an ancient duty. The death she already promised to grant to her beloved vampire, Alex, may not be enough. As she resists, the very water that once brought her comfort seems to pulse with new, cosmic dangers.
By all accounts, Sarah should be the last of her kind. But she's been lied to. Another still exists, hiding between life and death, cautiously watching and whispering in a voice only Sarah hears. If she wants their help, she will need to earn their trust.
Against her fears, Sarah will take Alex across oceans to reunite him with his estranged maker. But what starts as a plea for shelter unfolds into something much more complex. Wounds persist. Alex has changed. Together, they have cracked the careful spiderweb of the vampire world that his maker holds dear.
As the boundaries between life, death, and the divine crumble, allegiances will be questioned. Can a violent test of self-control earn the trust of Sarah's ghostly sibling and the protection of Alex's maker? Can Sarah tame the voices in her head? And must their path to salvation be paved with more blood?
Haunted Creatures begins immediately after the first book in this series. It is a paranormal dark urban fantasy written in a crisp, imagist style. It weaves together intense gothic romance, lurking cosmic horror, and philosophical melancholy.
Perfect for fans of the ancient history in Deborah Harkness's A Discovery of Witches and the atmospheric, dark gothic prose of S.T. Gibson's A Dowry of Blood.
