Is it just a coincidence that his arrival marks a significant change in Maisie’s life? Up until senior year, life was perfect, but things seem to be going downhill fast.

Laura Legend - 2019

Fans of The Vampire Diaries, Mortal Instruments, A Shade of Vampire, and Twilight love A Vision of Vampires! They're coming for me. I can smell it in the air. I can feel it in my bones. They're coming, and they won't stop until I'm dead and the world of the living destroyed. Destiny has foretold it. But destiny underestimated me. And my sword. The one that slays vampires and sends fear into the still hearts of the undead. And when they come for me, I'll be ready. Barista by day, Vampire ass-kicker by night. Yep, that's me. Triple shot of skinny iced death coming your ways, bitches. I'm a seer. A rare gift in the arcane world. Only one in a generation, they say. Vampires fear me. They should--I can read them like a book, predict their moves, and plunge my sword into their cold hearts before they know what hit them. Except for ... him. Richard York. He's blank to me. I've never met anyone like him. Out of all the vampires I've faced, he's an enigma. A complete mystery. And I want, I need, to know why. And that he's ridiculously sexy is not helping. Let Laura Legend transport you to a magical world where the world of mortals is caught in the middle of a war between vampires, witches, warlocks, werewolves, and all the beasts we thought were legends.
