Author: Adam Rex

Especially when the star of Vampire Hunters is hot on your trail in an attempt to boost ratings.…

It's no secret that I'm sick of vampires in novels. I think they tend to be far too similar and mundane these days, and I'm a bit sick of glittering, gorgeous, unattainable undead men.
