Blurb/Synopsis:
Deamhan have survived by remaining hidden
in the shadows. Ramanga, Lamia, Metusba, and Lugat have been overshadowed by
what humans know as the modern vampire. But what if vampires aren't the real
threat?
One woman's search for her mother who
disappeared without a trace on the streets of Minneapolis takes her into the
precarious world of Deamhan, psychic vampires who rule the underground
nightlife in the city's most darkest corners.
She gains the trust of the only other human
familiar with the Deamhan lifestyle. With his help she finds not only can the
Deamhan not be trusted but it’s her own father, president of a ruthless
organization of researchers, who has diabolically maintained that distrust.

Excerpt: PG13
With the bathroom door slammed shut behind
them, the twins pushed Veronica to the cold, dirty floor. She winced as her
ribs smacked the tile; pain shot through her stomach and into her back. She
stole a glance under the stalls before she raised her head. They were alone. Bare
fluorescent bulbs flickered overhead, giving the room an ominous glow.
The taller twin gripped Veronica’s arms in
her powerful grasp. She easily lifted Veronica to her feet and violently
slammed her against the bathroom wall. Breathless, Veronica made a dash for the
door, but was shoved back. The taller twin wrapped her fingers around
Veronica’s neck. Veronica clawed, trying to break free, but the Deamhan was too
strong.
Veronica stared into the twin’s dark,
menacing eyes. Her vision twisted in and out. The bathroom floor rippled as if
water suddenly covered the floor. Veronica’s head swooned and fear dissipated.
The drink flowed through her veins, intoxicating her.
It was a high she hadn’t felt since she
smoked weed for the first time in her teenage years. A sense of invincibility
and relaxation overtook her. She tried envisioning a brick wall in preparation
for the Deamhan twins to invade her thoughts, but the tingling sensation never
came. Instead she drifted into the furthest part of her mind where she kept
sacred memories of her mother carefully hidden from human and Deamhan alike.
“I
told you, sister.” The tall twin licked her lips. “She’s ripe.” The Deamhan
twins knowingly locked eyes and giggled.
With
a handful of Veronica’s hair in her grasp, the taller twin pulled, yanking
Veronica’s head violently to the side. She opened her mouth and her canines
protruded from her pale gums. “Her scent is strong, Brandy. And her skin,” she
said, sniffing Veronica’s neck, “is so soft.” She stuck out her tongue and
licked Veronica’s neck from her ear to her collarbone.
Veronica shivered from the trail of wet
spittle left on her skin.
“What Deamhan would be stupid enough to give a
researcher protection?” Branda scoffed. “Especially one as stupid as her.”
Protected? Veronica struggled to keep her
eyes opened. Darkness toyed at her periphery, and she thought she might faint
from lack of oxygen.
“I
want her first, sister.” Brandy’s eyes widened. “Oh, can I? Can I please have
first bite?”
“Sure.”
Branda slowly released her grip.
Veronica gasped, her lungs searing as they
engulfed fresh air.
“But don’t get greedy.”
Brandy replaced her sister’s stance and
shoved Veronica back against the wall. She sniffed the side of Veronica’s face
and chortled as Veronica struggled against her. “I like it when they fight.”
Brandy closed her eyes and swayed her head back and forth as she spoke in a
singsong voice. “Like a fly, caught in a spider web, about to meet its maker.”
“Protected.” Branda huffed, her nostrils
flaring. “What a crock of shit.”
A
strong wind manifested, and Brandy instantly released her grip. Her head jerked
to the bathroom door as it flew open on its own.
Veronica’s legs crumbled. She fell to the
floor gasping for air. She looked up in time to see a fuzzy image of the
Deamhan twins running out of the bathroom with Deamhan speed and the door
slamming shut behind them.
Whatever scared them away had impeccable
timing.
