A strange affliction, an overwhelming thirst has hit Remi, causing his desire for blood to increase to astounding proportions, placing the human woman he cares for in dire danger. Is Remi to blame for the killings? Has the Thirst turned him into a vampire gone rogue? Or, has he discovered something he wasn’t looking for… his bloodmate? less
