Book Description
A modern, nonviolent vampire fears his twin sister’s traditional, gruesome habits will expose them in this dark thriller. Hybrid vampires Daniel and Diana feel technology’s cold, uncountable tendrils hunting them. Daniel scientifically satisfies his needs. Diana, his twin sister, hunts in the old-school way, leaving patches of greasy, scorched earth or mutilated bodies for her brother to take care of. Daniel created Matrix, a face pack for beauty shops, which pulls blood through skin, leaves blissful clients, kills and alerts no one. He prefers milking to butchering. Daniel cultivates his human side; Diana mocks him. Impatient, she hunts out of spite as much as need. Daniel finally understands that his twin sister will get him killed, and his life’s hardest decision is at hand: To milk? Or to butcher?

More, Bill Ransom!” —Nancy Holder, New York Times–bestselling author of The Wicked Saga “A highly entertaining, riveting story about twin adult vampires. . . . Couldn’t put this one down—definitely worth a bite.” —Anna Quin, author of The Night Child

It’s been centuries since the devastating Rim Wars separated numerous planets from the protection and control of the galactic empire. The Rediscovery and Reeducation Service is dedicated to finding these “lost planets” and returning them to the fold. But not all civilizations are eager to cooperate. Young and charismatic, Lewis Orne is one of the best R&R agents in the organization’s history. But when he identifies troubling signs on the planet of Hamal, he is transferred to Investigative Adjustment, the agency that specializes in dealing with violent worlds. Suddenly, Orne is shuttling to the edge of the galaxy to detect any signs of latent aggression among Hamal’s population. Shortly after making landfall, Orne makes a far more astonishing discovery: he suddenly finds himself in possession of profound extrasensory powers. When these powers become known, he is invited to join Hamal’s company of “gods.” It is an offer too enticing to refuse. Yet being a god comes with certain expectations . . .
