Written by AI, narrated by AI... why would you bother to read a book nobody could be bothered to write, and listen to a book nobody could be bothered to narrate? Reject this slop.

Cynthia’s Quotes

“The first thing Viviana noticed, on her first night as a vampire, was how much she wanted to fuck everyone. When she was alive she’d been drawn to the same few types, again and again, and she had always longed for a palate more adventurous, more brave. Now everyone she passed smelled wonderful, the hunger sharpening inside her with every breath, and she wanted to slide her mouth over the softness of every neck and take them all in. (from "Lips Like Sugar")”
