Not Another Vampire Book (Not Another Vampire #1)

by Cassandra Gannon

Damien was the quickest escape route from her prospective groom. “Will you help me?” Damien tilted his head. Even the raven was staring at her. “No, no, no. The Vampires are the dark knights of the world.” Slade sounded like he was explaining something to a second grader. “The Wizard Warlocks are the enemy. You must ask for my assistance, Karalynn, and I will give it, freely.” “She asked me.” Damien snarled. “As I said, she is overwrought. She does not understand that I am her protector from you. You are a vile evil doer. While I have never done anything wrong in my entire, noble life. Nothing. So, she…” “You killed my fucking sister!” Damien roared in what was absolutely not the novel’s usual faux Olde Time-y dialogue. “You murdered her, you condescending son-of-a-bitch!”

He usually didn’t pay a lot of attention to his surroundings, but Kara asking him if he liked the bedroom made him more aware of all the décor. Why did the hotel look this way? He must have bought it like this, because he never would have chosen any of this furniture. Why didn’t he remember coming to live here?

“You want me to rescue the Vampire?” Damien spaced out the words in disbelief, like he couldn’t possibly be understanding that right. “You’re not serious.” “You have to help him, Damien!” “No.” “Slade’s in trouble!” “Good. I hope he dies. I believe I’ve been very clear about that.”
