I feel like not being over Klaus and Caroline was my whole personality for a while there, so this book is going straight on my TBR!!!
✨ NEW BOOK DEAL ✨

If you’re not over Klaus and Caroline from TVD, if you’re mad the Vampire Academy series was cancelled, if you’ve wondered what if Twilight focused on the Volturi, or if like Black vampires, HEIR UNDYING, my Adult romantasy, is coming your way!
