Catch up with Jenna and company in…
THICKER THAN BLOOD
BLOOD VICE BOOK FIVE
Coming May 1st, 2018
Revenge. Jenna had thought she wanted it before but it’s nothing compared to the scorching ire she lives with now. With her home and heart in ruins, she’s ready to repay the favor. The duke has taken her in, but not out of the kindness of his heart. The lavish suite and full-service harem at her disposal are not enough to disguise the setup for what it is: a gilded cage.
As the Midsummer’s Eve Ball draws near, where the queen has promised to announce Jenna’s new sire, Jenna plots to bring House Lilith to its knees. Starting with Dante Lilosa, the man Jenna blames for everything wrong in her life. Blood family or not, she’s determined to see him pay for his crimes…unless Ursula, the returned Duchess of House Lilith, makes Jenna pay for her sins first.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I did a silly thing this past year and decided to write 4 books. Not gonna lie, there were days when I thought I’d shot myself in the foot with this goal. But…I pulled it off. Finishing Blood Dolls was a proud, exhausting achievement for me. And I muscled through it with a heavy heart.
My Uncle Joe, one of my favorite people in the world, was diagnosed with cancer in October of 2017, and we lost him just one month later. While helping clean out his apartment, I found a first edition of my very first novel on his book shelf—next to a book on world religions. He encouraged and inspired me in a lot of ways growing up, and he meant a great deal to so many people. The world is a sadder place without him.
These books don’t happen without lots of help. So, as always, I owe thanks to the following awesome people: my husband, Paul, for doing his best to answer all my obscure firearm questions (Would skeet target shells blow off someone’s arm?) and for being my sounding board, proofreader, muse, and so much more; my kiddo, Xavier, who made frequent trips into my writing cave to offer kisses and to share his snacks with me; my critique group, the Four Horsemen of the Bookocalypse: Kory M. Shrum, Monica La Porta, and Kathrine Pendleton; my sister, Justina Dodson, for being my lovely cover model; Rebecca Frank, for designing another amazing cover; Chelle Olson for whipping my words into shape (all remaining errors are my own); Hollie Jackson, for lending her musical voice to Jenna in the audiobooks; THE Professor George Shelley, for his invaluable literary advice and friendship; and all my Grim Readers online, for cheering me on and leaving reviews.
Thank you all so much! You guys are the best! ♥ I hope you’re still enjoying the Blood Vice series and looking forward to book 5 in May of 2018—and book 3 of the Spero Heights series in March of 2018.
