Hollow Creek, Vermont is one of seven Veiled Towns where vampires and humans have lived under a fragile treaty for two hundred years. Wren Halliday has been there exactly six months — long enough to inherit her late grandmother’s failing bookshop, short enough that she still gets surprised by what a small town with two hundred years of secrets gets up to before breakfast.
Like, for instance, almost running her over.
Cassius Vance is one hundred and eighty-seven years old, sits on the council that keeps the treaty, and owns the bar two blocks down. He’s also the man behind the wheel of the black Charger that nearly puts Wren in the hospital on her first cup of coffee of the day. He is cocky. He is too old to be this distracted. He is going to apologise. He is going to apologise tomorrow.
And then he’s going to apologise the day after that.
Because something is hunting humans in this town — something that has been killing the women who keep the treaty’s records, and Wren’s grandmother was the last one to know what was coming. The renewal vote is in ten days. Wren is on a list she didn’t know existed. And the only vampire in Hollow Creek refusing to look away is the one she’s spent the last week trying very hard to hate.
She is failing.
So is he.
