Curse Of Shadows And Thorns

Raina Wycliffe thought the monsters were just stories, until she found the body. Torn open. Drained. Now vampires walk the streets of Windshade Hollow again, and one of them seems to know her. He’s fast, terrifying, and uncomfortably familiar. But when he tastes her blood and recoils in agony, Raina realizes she might be something else entirely—something even the undead fear. As more elders turn up dead and her town sinks deeper into darkness, Raina finds herself hunted by creatures that shouldn’t exist, protected by a vampire who doesn’t trust himself around her, and haunted by a past she can’t remember. Whatever she is, it’s waking up. And it’s hungry.

No one else can ever replace her in my heart." "And what about Lorrie? You proposed to her! She gave up a career at one of the world's top design firms for you. Aren't you worried she'll walk away when she finds out?" Chuck leans back on the couch, his expression cold. "I won't marry a traitor. Lorrie's pure, innocent—the closest thing to how Lylith used to be. So I'll still marry her. She loves me too much to walk away." Unseen in the shadows, Lorrie stands frozen, her heart plummeting. Turns out, she's just another her.

Lyra flinched, recoiling. His growl deepened, reverberating through the small space. “Whoever rejected you is irrelevant,” he snarled, his voice dripping with finality. “You. Belong. To me.”
