Book excerpt: One final adventure brings Faith together with her friends as big trouble looms on the horizon. An ancient vampire demands their attendance at his island bay estate, and few people can refuse an offer made at the point of a stake. They learn the vampire wishes to make a deal with them: save his witch and he will look the other way on their thefts. To make matters worse, Faith is cursed with death if they don’t cure the witch. The gang is gathered for this important mission in a life-and-undeath race against time. They must snatch the cure before Death snatches Faith. Along the way souls are risked and lives imperiled as Faith struggles with her true feelings for Simon. Will she survive long enough to find the answer, or will Death end her shore tenure as a transitioning undead? The Blood Thief series is an episodic serial where each book contains a conclusive story within an over-arching tale of sensual fun.
