One bite started it all . . .

Joshua, Remy, and the twins are settled in their new life. However, life doesn’t always run smoothly. An argument between Becky and her twin causes unforeseen circumstances, an admission by Samir almost costs him his life, and the traitor provides critical information to Liam. But who is it?

As Jakki’s visions begin to focus on the turncoat’s activities, a member of the coven disappears, and others find themselves endangered.

And when Liam’s coven attacks, who will endure?

Fate continues to toy with mortals and immortals alike, and as more hearts descend into darkness, can they overcome the dangers they face and survive?

Enjoy this glimpse inside the book!

They hadn’t gone more than a few yards when the amulet around Iskra’s neck began to vibrate and a strong lemon scent assailed her nostrils. She was right. The earlier tingle had been a warning. Her eyes swept the area in front of her, but nothing appeared wrong or out of place. Every one of her heightened senses was on high alert as she continued forward more cautiously.

A faint noise to her left drew her attention and she spun around, immediately adopting a fighting stance. As she turned a group hiding behind her pounced. One clambered onto her back and put a sack over her head while others with ropes slung over their shoulders and around the back of their necks tried to grab her arms.

Iskra dropped into a crouch, swinging one leg out in an arc as she did so. Two of the attackers fell to the ground clutching the bloody wounds on their legs. She brought her head back hard and fast, ramming the nose of the assailant on her back, and smirked at the satisfying sound of crunching bones. Blood poured from the wound, spraying some on her hair and neck. As he slid backwards, his claws raked through her clothes leaving long gouges down her back. She muffled a cry of pain as she pushed the sack from her face.

Now she could finally see, but the view was not pleasing. Iskra was surrounded by eight uninjured and furious vampires, snarling and baring their fangs. Her thought processes sped through various scenarios and she decided on her course of action. Using her peripheral vision she spotted the gap she needed on her right.

Taking two small steps to her left, she leaned in the same direction with her hands buried in her pockets, and the gang mirrored her movements – exactly as she planned. Pivoting on her left foot, Iskra suddenly spun kicking out with her right boot, catching three of them; two suffered nasty groin injuries, with blood spurting from severed arteries and a set of genitals lay on the ground like discarded meat. Another tried to pick up his intestines from the floor and stuff them back into the gaping maw of his stomach. Pulling her daggers from their hidden sheaths, she hurled one, watching it spin flatly through the air. As it hit the target, the head was half severed and the blade stuck in the vertebrae of the neck. Fountains of crimson fluid initially jetted into the air from either side of his neck then settled into a steady flow coursing down his body. She leapt onto the beleaguered assailant and gripping the handle, completed the decapitation. One of them made a grab for her arm and she slammed her elbow back, catching him in the shoulder and sending him whirling into a tree. Lashing out with both blades and clipping someone’s shoulder, she vaulted through the gap she had seen earlier and sprinted away; the remainder of the group, who were still able to, gave chase.

The gang crashed through the undergrowth after her, not caring how much noise they made. An aggressor threw a long-bladed knife at Iskra’s back; it whistled slightly as it cut through the air, alerting her. She dodged to the side just in time – the weapon caught the crease of the sleeve on her jacket, leaving a small rent in the material. That was a bit too close for her liking. She zigzagged through the trees curving back toward the manor; once she was back in the grounds, it would be over.

A familiar scent floated into her nostrils and she grinned. She changed direction again and headed straight for Pavel and Luka who raced to her aid. She slowed slightly to give her pursuers an opportunity to close the gap. As soon as she caught sight of her husband in the distance, she halted and whirled around to face the gang, a wicked glint in her eyes and a sardonic smile on her lips. A dagger was clutched in each hand, but apart from that she appeared relaxed. The mob approached warily. They had already seen how she single-handedly decimated four of their number and injured three others.

Suddenly, one of the mob spotted the two men closing fast. He yelled “RUN!”, and without waiting for his cohorts, turned and followed his own advice, sprinting faster than he had ever done before. They ran off in all directions with Pavel and Luka chasing them half-heartedly. The attackers crashed through the undergrowth, seemingly unconcerned with the noise they made, and not daring to turn around and check if they were being followed.

As Iskra watched the departing backs of the gang, she hoped they took the message back with them that the vampires from the big house were deadly.

    All these cool vampire authors from the UK, I wonder if that’s a coincidence.
