Damned if I Do: Book One of the Harker Trilogy, by Erin Hayes
I’ve spent the last five months trying to find the bastard who took my sister’s life and ruined mine.
Being brought up in a family that hunted the supernatural should have helped, but even with a slim chance that I can save us all, there’s still the bigger chance I’ll die trying.
Unfortunately, there’s one important thing my family didn’t tell me: When you fight against immortal vampires, you’re the one who’s running out of time.
Enjoy this excerpt…
I know something’s wrong as soon as I get to my house. My vampy sense tingles and the hair on the back of my neck raises.
Something is watching me, waiting for me to arrive. I can tell that it’s an unfamiliar vampire.
“Dammit,” I mutter.
“Edie?” Carl asks, his voice strangled. Apparently his own vampy sense is going haywire as well. “What’s at your house?”
“I don’t know. When we get inside, grab Graeme and Amelia and run. You hear me?”
I get out of the car and summon Glimmer from my left hand, feeling the painful prick as the blade slides through my skin. I don’t normally summon it so early, but when my family is being ambushed and I’m going into an unknown situation, I don’t want to risk anything else.
Adrenaline surging through me, I run up the steps to the house, Carl on my heels. I keep remembering what Zhi said about my family broadcasting our whereabouts so loudly. I make the decision to get off V-boards and find a new way to keep in contact with our group.
If we make it out of this.
The front door is unlocked, most uncharacteristic for Graeme, who worries about Amelia’s safety all the time.
I hope I’m not too late.
“Graeme?” I shriek. “Amelia?” I check the living room for my brother-in-law.
Carl echoes my shouts, his voice as panicked as I feel.
For a few agonizing heartbeats, I don’t hear a thing. Then, to my relief, Graeme appears at the top of the stairs, clad in his bathrobe. At first, his expression is one of anger at my loud entry, however, when he sees my face and that I have my sword drawn, he knows why I shouted.
I want to melt in the floor with relief.
“Edie? Carl?” He then notices that I have my sword in my hand. “What’s—”
“Amelia,” I say simply. I follow him up the stairs, taking them two at a time. “Get her.”
Without another word, he complies, his fatherly instincts to protect his daughter overtaking any other questions.
“Carl, when they come down, run. Don’t look back.”
To my relief, he nods.
My vampy sense goes haywire when I hit the second floor landing. We are not alone. Not by a long shot.
