Behind Verona's charming façade, age-old mysteries are awakening... Mel Bianchi is tired of writing gossip columns. When a series of mysterious murders rocks her city, she finally sees her chance at serious journalism. But what starts as her breakthrough story soon spirals into something far more dangerous—especially when whispers of vampires echo through Verona's streets, and the shadows themselves seem to be watching her. Then her father hands her a mysterious family heirloom, and suddenly nothing in Mel's world makes sense anymore. Strange things begin to happen around her, things that defy all logic and reason. The rational journalist finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about her family, her city, and even herself. Between unraveling centuries-old secrets and tracking a killer who seems to defy the laws of nature, Mel barely has time to deal with the infuriatingly attractive detective who keeps showing up at every turn. But with each new discovery, one question burns is he protecting her, or keeping her from uncovering Verona's supernatural secrets? In this enchanting first installment of a trilogy, moonlit mysteries and modern magic intertwine on Italy's most romantic streets. Because in Verona, some love stories are more dangerous than Romeo and Juliet's—especially when witches and vampires are writing the script. Perfect for readers who love their urban fantasy served with a side of romance, a dash of humor, and a double shot of supernatural suspense.
