They say the best way to keep a secret is to take it to the grave. In my case, I know that to be more than true... Twenty years ago, my parents were killed by vampires. If it wasn't for the demon hunters who swooped in and stopped them, I would be dead too. Yet here I am, a witch raised by hunters, with a burning vendetta to find the vampires responsible for my family's demise. Just when I think I found a lead, the universe throws me a curveball and I've never wished for the power to summon the dead more than I do now. Because then I'd ask my parents why they sold their youngest daughter to the Malus Mafia, an underground criminal organization that's been run by vampires for the last six hundred years. I know better than to trust a vampire, but in order to seek my revenge, I need to play the part of the perfect bride-to-be. If it takes until my wedding night, then so be it. Though the more I pretend, the more I start to question my feelings. Not for my husband...but for his brother.
