Blood and Buttercups
2024
Life is weird. One day, you’re in the garden, tending your tulips and growing your flower farm business, and the next, your doctor is handing you a prescription for synthetic blood and signing you up for vampire support groups.
Hi, I’m Piper Edwards, and I’m pre-vampiric. Here are a few things I didn’t know a month cute guy who visits my flower stall at the farmer’s market every week is a vampire. And he’s not so cute. He’s a stalker. Vampires have a lot of food options. If you don’t like prescription synthetic blood, there are subscription services that will deliver exotic animal blood to your doorstep every week. Organic, free-range, wild-caught—the options are endless. The government requires all infected individuals to be assigned to a conservator. Mostly, they hang around to help their pre-vamps learn the ropes and navigate their new diet. But if you’re a really lucky pre-vamp, your conservator will be a wicked-hot, recently demoted hunter who will hold your hand at doctor’s appointments and track down your stalker, bodyguard style.
In case you’re not sure, I got lucky. My conservator’s name is Noah, and this is our story…

Hi, I’m Piper Edwards, and I’m pre-vampiric. Don’t worry—it’s not as bad as it sounds. Right now, my love life is far more complicated than my diet. Taking prescription blood three times a day? Easy.
Abstaining from nibbling on Noah’s yummy neck? Not easy.
You know what else isn’t easy? Tracking down Cassian's hundred-year-old ex-girlfriend, learning how to properly use a stake, and figuring out how to tell my parents I’m now a creature of the night.
But honestly, I don’t think anything could be worse than suffering through vampire support groups…until my ex-stalker’s favorite assassin decides to pay me a visit.

Hunters and Hydrangeas
2025
Read the conclusion of Piper and Noah’s story in Hunters and Hydrangeas, the third and final book in the Vampire’s Guide to Gardening series.
Hi, I’m Piper, and I’m in love with a vampire hunter. I thought my life took a weird turn at the beginning of summer when I was diagnosed as a pre-vamp, but let me tell you, it’s gotten crazier.
A few months ago, I didn’t even know vampires existed, and now I’m rubbing shoulders with the vampire elite, going into business with one of their princes, and dreaming about a moonlit garden wedding with a tasteful carnivore reception menu.
Overall, this crazy life is pretty good.
And if people would stop trying to kill us, everything would be perfect…
