The latest Kristen Painter title is now out! BAD BLOOD is now available (US/UK/AUS)!

We are super excited to publish Kristen — so excited that we decided to publish the first three of her quintet in three consecutive months.  These novels are lush, fabulous and  hearken back to classic vampire novels like Anne Rice — but with a Gothic, near-future edge that grabs readers from the get-go.

A bit about the story:

Samhain approaches, bringing with it the final melding of the mortal and othernatural worlds. No one knows just how much power the night holds…

Violent murders occur in Paradise City as counterfeit comarré are systematically hunted. The police and the Kubai Mata have more than enough trouble to keep themselves occupied. As war erupts at home, Malkolm and Chrysabelle head to New Orleans to recover the Ring of Sorrows. Chrysabelle is forced to make a life and death decision and will realize that her relationship to Malkolm may have fatal consequences.

The clock is ticking . . .

The full series is shown below:
