Ander McNair used to be the favorite son of a great
monster-hunting family – until he was bitten by a werewolf and the hunter
became the hunted. Now anything that makes his pulse race, even a kiss from his
girlfriend Cicely, is enough to turn him into a monster. When he finally has
his chance to earn his cure by killing a vampire prince, Ander finds he has to
choose between his own past and the future of the girl he loves. Can a guy
who’s not even human learn what it means to be a man?
Luke Marianez used to be an immortal vampire prince – until the witch he loved
betrayed him and cursed him with the ability to die. Now he lives in the world
of vampire blood bars where the waitresses are the drinks, and dreams about
killing the last of the witch’s line so he can live forever. But revenge
doesn’t just mean breaking the curse. He wants to break the girl's heart, too.
Can Luke seduce Cicely without falling in love himself?
Cicely Watson doesn’t believe in werewolves or vampires. She’s not even sure
she believes in true love. But she’s about to discover what every werewolf
knows:
People change.
Excerpt:
The wind shifts.
The smell hits me: Bitter. Burning. Metallic as blood.
Vamp.
Before the thought can even register, I’m reacting. My
muscles tense and the hairs on the back of my neck rise. The color seems to
bleed out of the leaves around me as my eyes shift to the black and white
vision of the wolf, my color vision dialing down while my other senses go
hyper. The woods around me seem to shift like a dream going lucid as I become
suddenly aware of every twig snap, every rustle. My mind divides: the part of
me that is still human is fumbling for my bottle, tearing off the cap, chugging
one dose, two doses, three—as if I could drown it, swallow down the animal that
is rising up inside me.
The other half of my mind is thinking only one thing: vamp, vamp, vamp, vamp. I’m fighting
instinct and I know I’m going to lose. The scent is strong, fresh. I am used to
Michael’s scent; horrible though it was for me at first, I can ignore it now.
But this? This isn’t Michael. This is a vampire I don’t know—at least one,
maybe more.
And they’re on my territory.
I make a last, lame attempt at trying to breathe the way
Michael showed me. I grasp for the stupid mantra he gave me, saying it over and
over in my mind: Human is as human does,
human is as human does…but it’s no use. The change is rising over me like
water over a drowning man and fighting it only drives me deeper so I can’t
breathe. A sudden shock of pain unzips my spine, bending me double. My hands
hit the dirty forest floor. My mind latches on to a mantra of its own—please no please no please no—but it’s
too late.
I’m changing.

It’s hard to move on when someone you
love dies–especially if that someone is you. But that’s exactly what Cicely
Watson is trying to do: move on, away from the sunlit life she knew and into
her life as a vampire. It’s the only way to protect her friends, and her only
hope of getting close to the guy she loves. Now that Ander can control the wolf
inside him, Cicely is determined they will finally be together–even if their
natural instincts tell them to tear each other apart.
But when Ander meets a new girl with a power he can’t resist, Cicely fears she
saved his life only to lose his love. And what about her own feelings for Luke
Marianez, the handsome vampire prince? She always claimed dark, brooding Luke
simply wasn’t her type, but can she still deny the fire between them now that
she’s his kind? When the enemy captures someone she loves, Cicely is forced to
choose. Can a heart that stopped beating start loving at last? Or will true
love be caught in the crossfire?
