Night is a riveting storyteller, capturing the essence of the vampire genre.” —April M.

You’re going to love Night’s completely original take on the supernatural.” —J.R. Rain, author of Moon Dance “Bad Blood is fast, hilarious and sexy.

With some help from two unlikely allies, Caroline leads her people in a breathtaking retreat, praying they'll find salvation in their capitol city. Along the way, Caroline begins a noticeable transformation; she can run and jump with superhuman strength, she can bend time and catch bullets with her bare hands. Terrified of what's happening to her, seven puzzling words from her grandfather may hold a clue: "She gave you strength for a reason." Will her haunting dreams reveal a look into the mystery of her past?
