Keen's Turn: The Vampire's Appeal: Recent Episodes
Melaina Blanc
Jared Stern is going to die. That is, unless he can slay a vampire before falling to his fangs…
When a daydreamer becomes chance witness to a vampire's murderous meal, he takes it upon himself to rid his city of the threat. But the vampire is not so easily defeated, and takes an interest of his own in his would-be slayer.
It's neck and neck in ensuing bloody battles, a bout of about turns of turns of mind, and a deadpan penchant for puns—and that's only the beginning.
So join me for a lively horror thriller, a tale of tricks and traps traversing New York City. This is Star–Cross, book one.
