by Misti Wolanski

Vampires aren’t (un)dead—they’re just what result when an unseelie fae messes with a human. Most vampires don’t know about their fae origins, but Lyn’s special. So special that she's lethally allergic to sunlight, that she’s lived nearly two centuries but still has to work under the table, and that she REALLY can’t afford to be snacked on. It’s a long story. Here’s part of it.


Some days, it doesn’t pay to get out of bed…


When a bloke attacks his girlfriend outside Lyn’s apartment at midday, Lyn can’t save the twist without burning to death, herself. Lyn Burgess is a vampire, one of the rare few with the shadeshall, a rare illness that spawned the myth that sunlight burns all vampires to ashes.
