Jilted? Abandoned? Cate, the newish vampire, is not really sure, but she has fled Los Angeles for an All-American Fantasy Road Trip.
Her entire life–22 years as a human, then two years as a vampire–she’s been so sheltered that it doesn’t take long until she runs into problems she’s never had to solve. Now she’s stranded in Las Vegas with bald tires on her old RV and not enough money for replacements. But armed with her professional, movie-star make-up kit, she begins turning make-up and blonde wigs into tires by impersonating one Hollywood legend at a time.
After an awesome descent down the exterior of a famous casino fleeing casino security and the cops, she is tracked down by Conrad, a Cuban-American and self-described ‘night person.’ He is determined to help her whether she wants it or not. He’s sexy as sin and temptation in the flesh, but…but…what about Jack, the vampire who made her and then vanished one night. Is he just gone for now? Or has he jilted her forever?
This tongue-in-cheek tale of vampires trying to make lives for themselves in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Discover why it’s not easy being a vampire these days. This novella is part romance, part mystery, and part a tale of contemporary vampires surviving in a world of Zoom, GPS tracking, Facebook, and motorcycle gangs. (And the story continues is Flight, Book Two of The New Vampires.)
But be forewarned – these vampires have fangs and know how to use them.
