Synopsis

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The world of your favorite fantasy novels is real, and you’re invited to visit. The only catch? It’s filled with thirsty vampires. Devour this transporting romance from the bestselling author of One to Watch.

“A campy, fantastical vampire story that feels deeply and profoundly human.”—Lyla Sage, bestselling author of Done and Dusted

“A delightfully meta take on fandom, vampire fiction, and a beautiful tribute to the healing power of fantasy and facing your demons.”—Entertainment Weekly (Best Romance Novels of Fall 2024)

A BOOK RIOT BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

She’s out for adventure. He’s out for blood.

Tess Rosenbloom is no stranger to the dark. An assault survivor and grad school dropout, Tess spends her nights managing a chic Brooklyn hotel and her days reading her favorite vampire novels, Blood Feud. She even dabbles in online conspiracies claiming Blood Feud is real—it’s fun to hunt for clues! But deep down, Tess doesn’t believe vampires actually exist . . . until one walks through her door.

It turns out the sexy villain of Blood Feud is trapped, and only Tess can rescue him. Eager to escape her life, Tess agrees to help, and soon she’s on a secret island where the sun never shines, surrounded by deadly vampires—and most terrifying of all, she's falling in love with one of them. (Meanwhile, back in New York, Tess’s estranged best friend is having a sapphic paranormal affair of her own.)

Visiting the world of your favorite story is any fan’s dream, but can Tess outrun the demons of her past (and vampires of her present) before it becomes a nightmare? In this darkly glamorous rom-com, Tess will find out if it’s worth risking her neck—and her heart—for a chance to reclaim her future.
