Living Blood

Drew Nelson likes her quiet life predictable—editing articles, avoiding unnecessary drama, and keeping her coworkers at arm’s length. But everything changes the night she discovers Michael, her overly cheerful trainee, sinking his teeth into someone’s neck.

Michael isn’t just the office annoyance—he’s a vampire. And not the glamorous, brooding kind Drew has read about. He’s messy, guilt-ridden, and dangerously inexperienced at being undead. Against her better judgment, Drew gets pulled into his world of blood, secrecy, and supernatural politics.

As bodies start turning up around Seattle, Drew’s sarcastic wit and stubborn skepticism are tested by visions of a mysterious woman, a centuries-old vampire with his own secrets, and an enemy who craves godhood. Caught between survival and reluctant loyalty, Drew must decide how much she’s willing to risk—for Michael, for herself, and for the city that may soon drown in living blood.

Darkly funny and sharply human, Living Blood is the first book in a contemporary urban fantasy series about found family, trauma, and what it really means to be alive when you’re no longer living.
