Not yet published
Expected 19 Jan 26Violet Du Four thought she knew where life was heading. Born and raised in New Orleans, she’s days away from trading the French Quarter for New York City, designing gowns for the rich and powerful.
When Harrison Chamberlin snags her attention at a local cafe, Violet’s carefully mapped future shatters. Her dreams. Her safety. Her very humanity—gone in an instant.
Thrown into a world where monsters walk in daylight, and alliances are as deadly as fangs, Violet must decide who to trust as she fights to reclaim the life she lost, and survive the one she never asked for.

About the author
Madalyn Rae
29 books56 followersMadalyn Rae is the pen name for someone who can’t show the people in her life that she writes about werewolves, vampires, penises (I still don’t know the correct plural for that word) and heaven forbid—sex.
In her everyday life, she is a teacher of tiny humans and an avid music lover. She is the mother of two adult children and one adult husband. (That wasn’t a typo)
She lives in the best climate in America and enjoys the Gulf Coast whenever she’s not too lazy to fight with the tourists for a seat on the sand.
Madalyn’s stories stem from her overactive imagination and dreams. She writes what her characters tell her to write, and she hopes you enjoy reading them as much as she enjoys writing them!

Review of advance copy received from Author
I love a prequel and Madalyn absolutely delivered with Violets Story! The setting, the timeframe, the characters backstories, all of it was absolutely phenomenal! This is book 5 in The Vampires of New Orleans series and to say I have been obsessed since book 1 is an understatement!
Reading Violets story was amazing, I liked her as a side character in the previous books but I love her in this book! Its so wondeful to read about her life and the lead up to books 1-4!
This series as a whole is on my reread list for sure and im so glad book 5 adds so much more into the mix!! 5-stars absolutely!
