If falling in love with a vampire sucks, how about five? I'm not interested in helping the police tame vicious, serial-killing master vampires. But try telling that to detective Jason Avery, my annoying ex, who thinks he can walk back into my life with a sob story and puppy dog eyes to match. According to him, I have no choice. I'm the only Vanth Tattooist left with the power to bind the symbol of humanity to a 300-year-old vampire. The rest of those like me? Burned out. Incarcerated. Dead. No one predicted the asshole vampires escaping. And somehow, the leader has altered the mark I gave them into an unbreakable bond. The undead bastards are stealing my humanity bit by bit, and turning the one person I ever loved into a monster and me into a hot mess whenever they're near. Dark desires are creeping in. People around me are missing or dying. And all I have is a meagre tattoo gun and the power of my blood to protect me. I need to find these vampires and destroy their hold over me. Before my ex becomes the very thing he's always despised. And before I do something so terrible, there's no coming back. They say vampire love sucks. They're not bloody wrong.
