Bloody Moonlight 1 — Becca Fanning

I thought I would be the one shining a light into the darkness.Now I'm prey to forces I can't even see.My name is Stacey, and I've stumbled into a world that's both terrifying and seductive. It was my first day at a new job in Chicago, a city pulsing with unknown dangers and hidden thrills. Little did I know, it was also a crypt where vampires lurk in the shadows, and I was about to stumble into their world. The night I got the job, Tamara and I celebrated at Howl at the Moon, the hipster heart of Chicago's nightlife. It was there, amidst the laughter and clinking glasses, that I first felt the magnetic pull of the night. A pull that would lead me down a path of irresistible temptation and unearthly desires.In a back alley, under the cover of darkness, I encountered him. His touch was unlike anything I had ever felt, his strength unparalleled. And then he whispered in my ear, asking if I liked to be bitten.Yes. No hesitation. My pulse raced as his body pressed up against mine.I knew I had crossed into a world where I was no longer just prey, but a participant in a dance as old as time. In this new world of vampires, I found myself both terrified and exhilarated, caught in a whirlwind of passion and danger, where every encounter could be as deadly as it was enthralling.Here there be monsters.
