Everything that goes bump in the night is true and they are coming for you. With one living older brother, I thought that I would be in the clear of having to take over the family business. I could play pretend in the human world and none would be the wiser. Until I find out my brother has gone missing and now, I was the sole heir to the Van Helsing clan! What must my father be thinking? I'd never been proficient at the game of masks. I tended to talk better with my fists than my mouth and I wasn't about to hold back from telling the supernatural community what was on my mind. That's if I could live long enough to do it. keywords: urban fantasy, paranormal romance, thriller, horror, vampires, mystery, supernatural suspense, mythology, vampire romance, shifters, demons, van helsing, vampire hunter, demon hunter, coming of age

When the Army of the Republic seizes their town, and Claudie finds herself at the center of the conspiracy, she and Mathilde must flee their sheltered life and take up a cause that, up till now, had always seemed like a distant conflict. As the sisters carry out a dangerous mission for the resistance: delivering a precious item to the mysterious Rooster of Rennes--Claudie's conscience is torn between the longing to return to her predictable, lonely existence and the desire to carve out a new future, reaching for the life--and love--she never dared dream of but knew deep down she truly deserved.
