Knowledge changes everything…

Hoodoo-influenced Southern Louisiana seems like the perfect place for Camille to escape her abusive past and dysfunctional family. She doesn’t expect to fall in love with the handsome Gavin Devereaux and plummet into the world of Amaranth, a place of exile for reformed vampires.

Wrestling to escape a deadly ex-boyfriend while giving Gavin a chance, Camille is confronted with decisions that threaten not only her life, but the lives of her inhuman friends she has come to love. Entangled in her friends’ quest for freedom, she dives into their realm and faces the threats of Amaranth’s ruler—the mother of all vampires—and her own inner demons.

Now Camille must decide whether she will derail her life and make the ultimate sacrifice for the monsters that interrupted her bumpy path back to sanity—what she still wants so desperately—or escape with Gavin before it’s too late for both of them.

Author Rachael Wade’s Top Faves

1. Book Boyfriends
Christian Grey of the Fifty Shades Trilogy by E.L. James. I’m a sucker for tortured heroes, and he takes the cake. He’s witty, passionate, domineering, sweet, and maddening all at the same time. I also love Edward Cullen, Damon from The Vampire Diaries, and Daemon from Jennifer Armentrout’s Lux series.

2. Bands
It’s so hard to choose. Florence and the Machine and Brandi Carlile are my absolute favorites, though. They are my biggest musical muses.

3. Hobbies
Reading, watching movies, and going to concerts. And anything outdoors. I’m basically a huge movie buff and a voracious reader. My nose is always stuck in a book and that’s where I am happiest.

4. Authors
Sylvia Plath is one of my biggest literary heroes, as well as Cormac McCarthy. Some of my favorite contemporary authors as of late are Sylvain Reynard and E.L. James. Sylvain’s writing is beautiful and E.L. has a wicked sense of humor.

5. Movies
Anything and everything Tim Burton. Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and Benny and Joon are my all-time faves. I also love truckloads of indie films, far too many to name.
