Beautiful Madness by Laken Cane
The vampires have the moon.
They cannot take the sun.
There are daywalkers in Jakeston, and the council wants me to stake them all before they can do more damage. With every day they remain free, they grow more powerful.
The daywalkers are feeding, but they’re leaving no proof of their grisly meals. There’s no blood. No hair. No bones. No drained, dead bodies.
Humans are just quietly disappearing.
No one sees the mutant vampires. These baddies don’t do frenzied, public attacks. Unlike Avis Vine, they don’t want to draw attention to themselves–so there is simply death that no one sees.
These daywalkers aren’t eating just because they’re hungry. They’re devouring humans to grow their power. And somewhere out there is the magic that’s keeping them going. If I find that charger, whatever it is, the daywalkers will weaken. They’ll leave a trail I can follow.
But how can I find something when I don’t even know what it is I’m looking for?
How can I find creatures full of magic who have no desire to be found?
If that’s not enough trouble, in the middle of trying to track untrackable daywalkers, my alpha disappears. I’m afraid he’s been turned and has gone into hiding…or that he’s been murdered.
Then I feel him, and I know the truth.
Jared is out there, and he’s alive.
Nothing will keep me from him. Not for long.
I will walk through hell to rid my city of the daywalkers and destroy their twisted magic once and for all, and I will kill the world to save the man who would’ve done the same for me.
And when my past comes back to haunt me, I’ll have to put aside my horror over who–and what–I really am and find a way to forgive the woman I thought I could trust completely.
Someday, I’ll get back the life I love. I’ll work the office, talk to spirits, and enjoy my new home in Huntersburg.
But this is so not that day.
