Hood Nights Novels & Stories

Yesha Elaine Valdez has always lived a life dictated by survival—quiet sacrifices, buried dreams, and nights filled with desperate wishes for something more. She never expected those wishes to be heard. And she never expected them to be answered. On a storm-drenched night, a mysterious contract finds its way into her hands—one she doesn’t remember signing… but bears her name in ink darker than black. Before she can make sense of it, he appears. A man cloaked in shadows. Beautiful. Dangerous. Inhuman. He knows her fears. Her desires. Her secrets. And worst of all— He claims her. Bound by a deal she never knowingly made, Yesha is pulled into a world where power comes with a price, and freedom is an illusion. The man who calls himself her collector is no ordinary being—he is something far older, far darker… a devil who does not ask. He takes. As Yesha struggles to break free from the chains of a contract that binds her soul, she finds herself drawn to the very creature she should fear. Because beneath his cruelty lies something fractured… something that looks dangerously close to longing. But loving the devil is never without consequence. And in a game where souls are currency, Yesha may discover too late— Some contracts were never meant to be broken.

broke my heart eight years ago. Now she's my boss. Emma Parker has spent years building walls around her heart, brick by painful brick. At 26, she's a rising star at one of San Francisco's most prestigious law firms, and she's worked damn hard to get here, partially to prove she's more than the naive college freshman who fell for her mentor and got destroyed.

But when they're forced to work together on a career-defining case, those old feelings resurface with a vengeance. Late nights in the office. Stolen glances. Accidental touches that linger too long. The chemistry that once consumed them is still there, burning hotter than ever.

My best friend Seraphine had not one drop of blood left in her body when they found her. Her skin was translucent. There were two dried trails of blood from the corners of her mouth, like she had wept herself empty long before the end. She left one note. One sentence: "Vera saw his face." From that day forward, I became the Covenant's greatest sinner. Because I knew who did it. But I said nothing. For ten years, I said nothing. Then Lucian came back. He was the one who had turned us, raised us, given us the only home we had ever known. He set the Soul Prism in front of me. "Tonight," he said, "you give me the killer." His eyes hadn't changed. That was the worst part. After ten years of exile, of stones and fire and nights that never got warmer, I looked at him and he was still exactly who he had always been to me. "Or you disappear from this world along with him." He didn't know. The reason I had chosen exile and starvation and a Blood Oath that had been eating my soul core alive for a decade — was him. All of it, always, had been for him.
