Barbie: The Vampire Hunter Series by Lucinda Dark

Ashes to Ashes. Dust to Dust. If vampires kill your entire family, vengeance is a must. I can’t say my parents never warned me about vampires. I just never believed them. Not—that is—until six months ago when vampires broke into my home and killed my family. Thanks to all the skills my parents taught me, I managed to escape but I couldn’t save them.

I just never believed them. Not—that is—until six months ago when vampires broke into my home and killed my family. Thanks to all the skills my parents taught me, I managed to escape but I couldn’t save them. Two vampires down and the rest of the world to go. My bid for revenge is going to have to wait, though, because until I turn 18, I’m being placed in the loving care of Elizabeth and Jonathan McKnight—godparents I didn’t even know existed. The clock is ticking until I can get back to my goal of eradicating the vampire race. But something is amiss at my new high school. According to my parents, vampires can’t walk in daylight. So, why then, does Torin Priest? If he’s not a vampire, then what is he? Because unlike the obnoxious asshole, Maverick McKnight, who sees me as some sort of bloodsucking leech on his wealthy family, Torin Priest is most certainly not human. To stake or not to stake, that is the question. less

I am beauty. I am grace. And yes, I will also punch you in the fucking face. I never wanted to be a killer. Not until my entire family was slaughtered. Now, though? Now, killing is what I live for. And I’ve gone so far down my path for vengeance that there’s no going back. I made a deal with a demon, and I liked it. The power that comes with demon possession is heady. The more I use it, the more addicted I become even if it does come with a little catch... moreI am beauty. I am grace. And yes, I will also punch you in the fucking face.

Sex demons need sex to survive, after all. No fucking way. Sex only complicates things and I need to be on my A game if I’m going to find the one responsible for killing my family. That’s my number one priority. Find the vampire linchpin and cut his damn head off—no matter the target it paints on my back. The dead belong in the ground, and one way or another, I intend to put them all there. less

Roses are red. Violets are blue. You came for me. Now, I’m coming for you. A year ago, I thought my whole world had ended. My family was dead. The life that I knew had been changed forever. Now I know that was just the beginning. I faced down the devil who destroyed my family and I fucking lost. I’ve become the thing I hate most in this world and there is no turning back. Even a contract with a demon couldn’t save me from the creature that now inhabits my body... moreRoses are red. Violets are blue. You came for me. Now, I’m coming for you.

I faced down the devil who destroyed my family and I fucking lost. I’ve become the thing I hate most in this world and there is no turning back. Even a contract with a demon couldn’t save me from the creature that now inhabits my body. Arrius Priest is planning something big. Something that threatens not just the society of hunters my parents belonged to, but the existence of the human race as we know it. Even though none of us are completely human anymore--not even Maverick--we won’t abandon it. I may have failed once before, but I won’t fail again. It takes a monster to destroy a monster, so a monster I will become. less
