🔪 Danger & Betrayal
Silver knows better than most that monsters don't always look like monsters.
Living as a vampire in New York City means keeping secrets, staying unnoticed, and never getting too comfortable. Then she meets Travis Vale, a vampire with a wicked sense of humor and an infuriating ability to make her feel alive again.
What begins as an unexpected attraction becomes something Silver never thought she'd find. But while she's falling for Travis, something far more dangerous is moving through the city.
Hunters are closing in.
An ancient Order has set its sights on the supernatural world, and Silver is caught directly in its path. As the danger grows, witches, vampires, and werewolves are pulled into a fight none of them can escape.
Then Silver meets Matrix.
Charming, protective, and seemingly willing to stand beside her when everything around her is falling apart, he offers exactly what she desperately needs: someone she can trust.
But trust can be more dangerous than any weapon.
With the Order tightening its grip and the people she cares about becoming targets, Silver and her friends are forced to stop running and fight back.
New York was supposed to be her home.
Now surviving it may cost her everything.

New York has always had monsters. Most people just don’t know where to look.
Shadows and First Blood pulls you into a darker side of the city where vampires, werewolves, witches, hunters, ghosts, and old supernatural secrets exist just beneath the surface.
At the center of it all is Silver, a vampire trying to survive a world that keeps getting more complicated, and more dangerous, the deeper she gets into it.
Expect blood, sarcasm, romance, horror, messy relationships, supernatural secrets, a haunted bookstore, and characters who definitely don’t always make the smartest decisions.
Welcome to the Shadows.
Try not to get bitten. 🩸
Shadows and First Blood takes place in New York City, but not quite the New York everyone knows.
Behind the crowded streets, glowing signs, old buildings, and places people pass every day without a second thought, another world exists.
Vampires walk among humans. Werewolves hide what they are. Witches keep their secrets. Hunters are never far behind. And tucked among it all are places where the past refuses to stay buried.
From dark city streets to a bookstore with secrets of its own, Silver’s New York is beautiful, chaotic, dangerous, and crawling with things that go bump in the night.
In this city, the monsters aren’t hiding under your bed.
They’re walking right beside you. 🩸
Silver never asked for an easy life, and she sure as hell didn’t get one.
Sarcastic, stubborn, and more vulnerable than she’d ever admit, Silver has learned that surviving sometimes means growing fangs of your own. She loves hard, fights harder, and has a habit of walking straight into trouble even when every instinct tells her to run.
She isn’t a hero.
She’s just trying to survive the shadows. 🩸
Tucked away among the streets of New York is an old bookstore that has seen more than its share of strange things.
Its shelves are packed with forgotten stories, old books, and secrets that have been sitting quietly for longer than anyone realizes.
For Silver, it becomes more than just a place to work. It’s somewhere familiar. Somewhere that feels safe.
But in Silver’s world, safe is usually temporary.
Some stories belong on the shelves.
Others are buried inside the walls. 📚🩸
