These Shadows Become Her

Can forbidden love bloom where grief has taken root? 

In the bustling city of Alderdeen, artistic prodigy Mia has long hoped to apprentice with a world-renowned artist. But when he crushes her dreams, despair drags her into a murky abyss of whisky and men, with only her sister, Kali, as a light in the darkness. But when Mia stumbles across her sister's mutilated corpse, she is once again lost and untethered. All she knew crumbles around her with the gruesome sight, awakening a shadowy secret-one that could see her burn. 

Her first suspect is the man found standing over Kali's body: Idris Blackwood, a brooding vampyre haunted by his own dark past, complicated by their one night of sizzling passion. That is until he saves her from a creature's sharp claws. Bound by a common enemy, Mia and Idris entangle themselves not just in the mystery of the grisly murder but in a love affair that the gods never weaved. 

Time is running out, and the creature's hunger grows. With each passing night, more lives are taken. Can Mia and Idris work together to save Alderdeen, before their undeniable desire for each other reveals that fate has bigger plans for this witch?
