Bitten by Darkness

The Handmaid's Tale meets Sookie Stackhouse aka True Blood. A hundred years ago, they crept out of the darkness. Vampires, shifters, and other creatures that go bump in the night. Humanity responded as they always do - fear, hatred, and violence. Thus, the Blood Wars began. And humans lost. Now, the creatures that once hid in the shadows rule the world, thrusting it back into the days of slavery and savagery. A delicate balance of master and slave, obedience and death. But with a new generation rising, will they remain compliant or risk everything for a taste of freedom? A VAMPIRE CONSUMED BY REVENGE A SLAVE WITH A SECRET EVEN SHE DOESN'T KNOW HIS PLANS DON'T INCLUDE HER, BUT ONE BITE CAN CHANGE YOUR FATE Nessie Robinson bleeds every night. Without fail, without a thought, without a choice. Their fangs sink into her flesh, making her skin crawl. Being a vampire's slave sucks. Pun intended. But one vampire was different. He made her smile. Made her want to get closer. Until he abandoned he ten years ago. Now, he's back... Charlie Matthews wants one thing. Revenge. And after four long centuries, he's finally getting close. Until the girl he'd foolishly befriended years ago reenters the picture. Now, she's all grown up and one taste of her marks her as his. Claiming her isn't an option. Not if he wants his revenge. But resisting the bond that ties them will prove more difficult than he ever imagined. And twice as deadly. This slow burn dystopian romance is the first book in the Forbidden Freedom series.
