Synopsis
A simple mission
turned deadly.Nineteen-year-old vampire Dawn has led a sheltered life within the confines of her father’s presidential headquarters. Upon being sent on a mission to revamp four goofy misfits into guardians of a peaceful little town of Angel Creek, Dawn believes that all her dreams have finally come true. What starts off as a simple task, turns into something unexpected, changing Dawn’s life forever and leading the action-loving, thrill-seeking vampire teen on a path of mystery, danger and intrigue.
When a human girl is kidnapped by a group of rogue vamps, Dawn discovers that there is more going on in Angel Creek than meets the eye. And it all connects to Ethan, the cute newcomer who seems too perfect to be true, Sebastian, the mysterious vampire with a turbulent past, and even Dawn herself. Dawn must not only succeed in revamping the troubled recruits, but must also prevent the vampire race from being overtaken by a malevolent villain who has a strange and obsessive fascination with her. As threat escalates, romance blooms, and ghosts from her past begin to surface, Dawn is sure of only one thing: her life will never be the same.
Excerpt
THREE
Meet the Team
That evening, nestled in the small, cozy cottage in the
depths of the Angel Creek forest, I glumly surveyed the vampires gathered
around the dining room table. Hunter was resting his head on the linen
tablecloth, struggling to stay awake. Every so often, he would succeed in
lifting his heavy lids and focus his eyes on me, only to instantly retreat into
his intoxicated coma. Sophie sat to Hunter’s right, her forehead scrunched
tightly as she squinted at the small print of her historical fiction novel. Her
pupils moved at lightning speed as
her eyes glided across the pages, hungrily devouring the story. Across from
them, Brooke was polishing her nails with a sharp, pink file. She paused after
each stroke to inspect her handiwork and ensure that she was creating the
perfect shape. Seth sat at the foot of the table, a large head of garlic in his
hand. He peeled off a clove and popped it into his mouth, wincing at the bitter
flavor. All the while, he shot dirty looks in Brooke’s direction.
Drawing in a deep, calming breath, I launched into a short
speech I had prepared earlier in the day. “Congratulations new recruits! The
four of you are now in training to become the guardians of Angel Creek. This is
both a great honor and an important task,” I said with as much excitement as I
could muster. “Once you complete your training, you’ll be officially sworn in
by the town council. Until then, I require your undivided attention and full
devotion. Are you ready to band together and work with me?”
“Hmm?” Hunter murmured, raising his head.
“Y-Yes.” Sophie whispered.
“Okay,” Brooke said. “But it better make me super popular.”
Seth narrowed his eyes at Brooke. “As long as I don’t have
to work too closely with her.”
It was the best I was going to get,
I realized. And that would have to change.
Synopsis
Becoming a vampire
guardian was Dawn Fairchild’s ticket out of the Scarlet House. Fresh off a
successful mission, life in Angel
Creek should have been
great. But when her sort-of-maybe-boyfriend, Sebastian, disappears on a quest
to help a beautiful vampire from his past, Dawn finds herself amidst a web of
danger, lies, and deceit.Joining forces with Razor, an enigmatic rebel lacking both a verbal and a physical filter, and her band of Misfits—Brooke, Sophie, Hunter, and Seth—Dawn is thrust into a race against the clock to solve the mystery surrounding brutal Born kidnappings and come to terms with the sudden discovery of her own unique powers. With time ticking away and Born vampires’ lives in jeopardy, it quickly becomes evident that someone—orsomething—desperately wants Dawn and is willing to shed any amount of blood to get her.
Dawn has only one chance to face her demons and overcome all obstacles standing in her way as she embarks on the biggest mission of her life—one that threatens a deadly outcome for all involved.
