Vampires

A dark fantasy novel of power, captivity, and the fragile hope of escape. Mina Park once begged to be made immortal. Ten years later, she would give anything to be free. Held in the gilded cage of Shanghai—the world’s only vampire-controlled territory—Mina survives under the suffocating rule of her creator, the ruthless Lady Zhang. When a narrow chance at escape fails, she’s dragged back into a world of politics, punishments, and quiet psychological horror, with the threat of an ancient, mind-breaking collar looming over her neck. Javier Robles, a newly arrived donor, isn’t here for politics—he’s searching for his sister, missing for sixteen years after entering Shanghai’s vampire system. But to find her, he must navigate a city that thrives on secrets, blood, and obedience. One wrong move could make him prey. When Mina and Javier’s paths cross in a chance hallway encounter, neither realizes how deeply their fates will intertwine. Mina has nothing left to believe in. Javier still believes he can fix things. And in a city ruled by creatures who never die, it may cost them everything just to stay human. For fans of A Dowry of Blood, Gideon the Ninth, and The Death of Jane Lawrence—Vampires of Shanghai is a slow-burn psychological dark fantasy where love is captivity, and rebellion begins with a name.

An obsession with a beautiful serial killer entangles a vampire hunter’s daughter in an immortal sapphic romance in this enthralling gothic fantasy from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lucy Undying. Anneke has a complicated relationship with her father, Abraham Van Helsing—doctor, scientist, and madman devoted to studying vampires—up until the night she comes home to find him murdered, with a surreally beautiful woman looming over his body. A woman who leaves no trace behind, other than the dreams and nightmares that plague Anneke every night. Spurred by her desire for vengeance and armed with the latest in forensic and investigatory techniques, Anneke puts together a team of detectives to catch her mysterious serial killer. Because her father isn’t the only inexplicably dead body. There’s a trail of victims across Europe and Anneke is certain they’re all connected. But during the years spent relentlessly hunting the killer, Anneke keeps some crucial evidence to infuriatingly coy letters, addressed only to Anneke, occasionally soaked in blood, and always signed Diavola. Devil. The obsession is mutual, and all the more dangerous for it. The closer Anneke gets to her devil, though, the less sense the world makes. Maybe her father wasn’t a madman, after all. Diavola might be something much worse than a serial killer . . . and much harder to destroy. Because as Anneke unearths more of Diavola’s tragic past, she suspects there’s still a heart somewhere in that undead body. A heart that beats for Anneke alone.

Rae Farren has always had a taste for blood. The blood of her enemies, if she’s being specific, but Demesia has been crawling with degenerates for so long the line between friend and foe no longer exists. War is on the horizon; the fragile existence between humans and the preternatural creatures they share their home with almost at breaking point. With neither time nor luck on her side, Rae jumps at an opportunity to strike a deal with the enemy, even though nothing good can come of their alliance. Born a bastard Vampire, Aidan Vale has ruthlessly fought his way into his seat of power, but power always comes with a price. He’s sampled most of what Demesia has to offer, but every drop has been like ash on his tongue since his magic was stolen from him, a secret that’s becoming more and more difficult to hide from those who would try to rob him of his throne. When a foul-mouthed thief offers a bargain with him, Aidan has nothing to lose by accepting. Rae could either be his redemption or his damnation, but refusing her might just be too great a risk. As sparks fly and tempers flare, one thought alone drives him to see their deal through: know thy enemy. Set in a corrupt world of magic, technology, and deceit, Never Run From An Immortal is a dual POV, enemies to lovers, urban romantasy between a foul-mouthed Witch and a Vampire Lord. Perfect for fans of a marriage of convenience, forced proximity and morally grey main characters.
