“I was obsessed from the very first page. The world building, the lore, the cast of fascinating, complex characters and their beyond complicated relationships are all handled with a featherlight but masterful touch. Kevin Dickson takes the New York you think you know and shows you a side of the city you could not even imagine, in your wildest dreams. Compelling and compulsive, this is a rich, vivid story about love, friendship, loyalty, family, what it really means to be alive, and it is one not to be missed.” – Lindsey Kelk, bestselling author of the
I Heart series and On A Night Like This.Sara, a five hundred year old vampire, works as a therapist in New York, as well as overseeing her Lock, a peaceful group of vampire women, in a compound on the Upper West Side.
After a ghastly accident sends Sara’s bloodlust spiraling dangerously out of control, she is barely able to contain her increased addiction to human blood. Out of desperation, Sara begins to wonder if ending her life is her only option.
In the midst of her crisis, Sara falls for Silas, a blunt, funny patient with a nihilistic worldview. Her life feels like it is righting itself, until a brutal murder sends shockwaves through the tight-knit vampire community, and Sara realizes that the life she has protected for so long is built on a foundation of deception and lies, and nobody is what they seem.
Kevin Dickson is the author of the LA Times Bestseller Blind Item and its sequel, Guilty Pleasure.
