What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
I’ll drive her insane . . . and then I’ll go.
And she’ll spend the rest of eternity dying to taste me again.
THE UNFORGETTABLE SAPPHIC ROMANTASY DEBUT OF 2026.
WHERE HUNTER MEETS THE HUNTED IN THE HALLS OF A VAMPIRE ACADEMY . . .
In the mists of the Scottish highlands lies a university where vampires and humans alike live and study.
But there is one student very different from the rest.
Rebecca Charity. Vampire hunter.
Undercover at the university, Rebecca is searching for the mysterious Book of Blood and Roses, a lost compendium of ways to kill vampires. If she finds it, she’ll be one step closer to avenging her parents who were slain by vampires three years ago.
But when Rebecca arrives, she finds something, or someone, unexpected.
Aliz Astra – heir to one of the most powerful vampire families . . . and the most beautiful woman Rebecca has ever met.
She is everything Rebecca has always hated, but also everything she has ever wanted, and now she doesn't know if she wants to kiss or kill her.
When, on a moonlit night, Aliz rescues her from a vampire attack, she accidentally makes Rebecca her familiar. And they must work together to break the curse before the next full moon.
Growing closer by the day.
Can a vampire hunter ever fall in love with a vampire?
