In the sleepy town of Stonewillow, one would think that three teenage girls would be safe. Emily, Blythe and Cordelia certainly thought that the most dangerous thing they had to worry about was falling out of each other's graces in their final year of high school.

Emily, Blythe and Cordelia certainly thought that the most dangerous thing they had to worry about was falling out of each other's graces in their final year of high school. After all, boys can be the most vicious disease for a young girl.But, when vampire brothers Declan and Sawyer fall in love with small-town girl Emily, awakening the jealous wrath of Kaia, their maker, shit hits the fan (to put it lightly).This isn't Emily's story, though. This isn't even Blythe's story either, the witch of the trio.No, this is Cordelia's just your average, regular human teenage girl turned wannabe vampire killer. After Emily's sudden murder at the hands of Kaia, she is suddenly tasked with bringing her doppelganger best friend back from the dead.By traveling back to 1862 to kill Kaia and prevent her from ever laying a hand on precious Emily...That's the plan, anyway. But, even the most carefully made plans have a way of falling to pieces.After falling for Declan pre-vampire and befriending Kaia inadvertently, will Cordelia be able to stay true to her promise to her friends back in 2024? felt the rumble of his chest as he instructed one maid to run the hot water and undress her, and another to run and get clothes for her.He set her down lightly on the bed and stood back. She took the chance to look around.The bed she was sitting on was pretty plain and simple, though it had a pretty white canopy. Beside it was a chest of drawers, with an oil lamp on top of it. The walls were slightly cracked and the floor was dull gray cement.She'd always imagined houses in the 1800s to be fancier, especially if Declan was from a rich and uppity family. Maybe he hadn't been rich?She looked up, and found Declan staring at her strangely. His head was tilted in that irritating devil-may-care way she saw so frequently back in the present but his lips were the tiniest bit parted instead of delivering some smart-ass remark.He almost looked like he couldn't breathe.Her eyes met his and she had to look away immediately. Puzzled, and embarrassed for no reason, at his reaction, she looked down at herself and realized why.When he'd set her down, the fur coat had slipped off and now her tank top and shorts were in full view.More obviously, so was her bare skin.He probably hadn't noticed it before in the dark. What she was currently wearing was considered indecent to him right now.Was it weird that she felt kind of self-conscious then? She’d never thought twice about wearing something like that in 2024.Blushing, and not really knowing why, she drew the coat tightly around her. She watched his face carefully as he blinked and cleared his throat, his Adam's apple bouncing up and down.His eyes, still the darkest blue she might ever see, met hers before flitting away. less
