May 19, 2026My adult debut, Nightslayer! This book has been a secret for years at this point; it feels good to finally have the news out there. It started as the pitch 'Buffy meets Bridgerton' back in 2021 and six years later it'll be real. I can't wait for you to meet Henry and Thomas <3
Review of advance copy
Read an early version of this and it is EVERYTHING for the vampire girly pops out there. Bridgerton meets Buffy, historical romance with a paranormal twist, such a great read! Pre-order to avoid disappointment because this one will FLY off the shelves
