An exciting new novella set in the world of Pretty When She Dies...

Aimee is a full-blood witch that is bound to a powerful vampire who traffics in the slavery of supernatural beings.
Both are powerful, lonely, and trapped in the dangerous world of the vampires.
When Cassandra steals a relic from Aimee’s vampire master, he targets her as his next acquisition. What he doesn’t realize is that a chance encounter between Cassandra and Aimee ignited a spark between them that they cannot deny. To survive, the women must find a way to band together and fight against the ruthless evil that conspires to enslave them forever

Honestly I had a good idea of what the cover was going to look like back in November 2012 when Rhiannon Frater had a contest about naming the title. I'd also heard that it was put on hold because of personal reasons. I understand that it was hard for her to finish the book due to the abusive content and character of the vampire Frank (who is an asshole) and I agree! He is an asshole! You can read her blog post for more of the details.
The synopsis pretty much says it best but Cass and Aimee made their debut in PWSK and I thought they were awesome and together they make a great team. We got to know more about Aimee, the witch, in this novella. She is the one who is being abused by the monster named Frank. Cass is still my favorite idk maybe it's because I love Rhiannon Fraters portrayal of vampires but she does know how to fight and is more kickass. Cass robs from bad guys and is going to steal Aimee away, watch out.
Did you know it is in the Dhamphirs nature to kill their vampire fathers and feed on their mortal mothers? I guess that's why meeting her father Cian in Pretty When She Kills was not the correct response?
"This really wasn't the way I planned to meet you. I had no intention of showing up all, 'Hi, Dad, I'm a dhamphir and a lesbian, howya doin'." - Cassandra to CianIf you haven't read Pretty When She Kills what are you waiting for?
I just added the first book to my wish list for next time I buy some books (I have a huge stack by my bed right now). The series sounds intriguing.
