Imagine living a human charade for fifteen years and never knowing it. Imagine being provided less than a week to learn and accept your family’s true heritage before it overtook you. Alexa Jackson, Lexi, is abruptly thrown onto this roller coaster and quickly learns that she can’t change fate, regardless of how many lifetimes she is given. She will be transformed into a vampeen on her sixteenth birthday, she will be called upon to fulfill a greater destiny within the dangerous world of vampires, and she will have to risk heartbreak and rejection if she ever wants a chance at love with Kellan, whether she likes it or not.

Love will be tested and loved ones will be lost as Lexi’s journey carries her directly into battle. She quickly finds that all isn’t fair in love and war, especially when you are dealing with the most powerful and skilled vamps in the world. War brings out the best and worst in Lexi. She will be forced to question not only herself and her relationship with Kellan, but her safety and security in all she’s known until now.

Some hunt, and some are hunted. With lives at stake, literally, Lexi travels the globe pursuing the element of surprise against her enemy. Unfortunately, it seems there’s a mole in her tightknit group. Lexi is forced to reevaluate her relationships, old and new, as her target closes in on her. Can her friendships survive the pressure of the front lines? And can her relationship with Kellan survive a game of cat and mouse? Predictions aren’t always accurate, or are they?

Gabi is a full-figured vampire whose love life hasn’t been horrible, but also hasn’t been spectacular. A one-night stand eighty years ago has haunted her with a low-lying desire she was unaware of. One look at Jack again though, and her dead heart is leaping. Eighty years ago, Jack had a connection with a plus-sized vamp beauty. The moment she discovered his true identity though, he took off, focusing on protecting his elusive reputation. Fate brought them together again though, and Jack was enraptured all over again. He has a bit of explaining to do before Gabi will give herself up to the dark vamp though. Dive into Gabi and Jack’s love story and get a candid view of their wedding day in this Vamp Chronicles short. This is a Vamp Chronicles (series) short story best understood and enjoyed if read between book 3, Hit the Road Jack, and book 4, Vamp Versus Vamp.

Vamps don’t get a day of rest. Or so it seems to Lexi Jackson, especially when a new predator comes at her, and this time, he’s hitting close to home. With her best friend Mel’s transformation approaching quickly, Lexi must gather those she trusts to face the enemy from her own bloodline. But when there’s a kink in your front line, when your relationships are rocked to the core, how do you face the threat with confidence? Lexi can’t, which forces new protectors to step forward, and old insecurities to eat away at Kellan. Kellan’s fought hard for his fiancé in the past, but with others continually intruding on his territory, his anger is brewing. With a lot to prove and more to work through, he unites forces with several power players in the vamp world creating his own attack unit. It’s his place to protect his fiancé, not anyone else’s. With the enemy closing in on them, will Lexi and her friends be able to put aside their differences in time to defeat the newest legion of discontented vamps together? Will Kellan and Lexi’s personal struggles chip away at the foundation of their relationship, causing all to crumble, including the prophecy?
