Their survival depends on keeping their supernatural identities secret, but a serial killer has been depositing bodies drained of blood near Squid Tower where the vampires live. If the police discover the beachfront condos are filled with vampires, the residents will be staked on sight. Can Missy, along with a cute local reporter and the geeky gate guard on the graveyard shift, prove that the killer doesn’t live at Squid Tower without getting themselves killed in the process?

Lee, Kim Harrison, Jim Butcher, Shayne Silvers, Christopher Moore, and Carl Hiaasen. Grab this book and enjoy a vacation in Jellyfish Beach today.

A blood drinker from the ancients. Their story is scarce told, but Kesi's is all too clear... She appears a delusive goddess, wanting more than anything a family. Unable to bear children, and after the death of her husband, she travels the world searching for a way to share her bloodline ("creating" children, later known as "Vampyre"). She offers aid to those who need her. But her deep desire to have kin of her own blood is not met, until she comes across a Chinese alchemist named Yin - another of her race.
