Family Again: Book of Origins, Volume Two by Alyse Nennig
All vampires once had love, had family.
Who says they can’t have them again?Two weeks ago, Hannah Jacob’s life was considered normal for a vampire hunter. She was single by choice, turning twenty-five years old, worked part-time as a librarian, was an excellent field agent for the Council – a secret government agency tasked with controlling the vampire population – and had amazing friends who doubled as her family. Fast forward to the present and her life could be an original Brothers Grimm fairy tale.
Destined by prophecy yet begot by love, Hannah’s now married to blood-born vampire John Trott and magically pregnant with his child. On top of that her supposed-to-be-dead mother is a vampire, she’s having vivid dreams of someone else’s past, and she is being held hostage by Vlad – the First Vampire, a creature she should view as the epitome of pure evil but instead believes is a tortured soul who would never hurt her.
Reminded on the first day of her beauty-and-the-beast-like captivity that there are two sides to every story, Hannah begins to question the Council’s side regarding Vlad. Soon after she has another dream and inadvertently discovers she’s not the only one keeping prophetic secrets. His dark Majesty is harboring painful revelations too, ones that speak to his true character and hold the power to reunite all of their family.
But a true family they will never be…

Children of Dust by Mary Hallberg
A camping trip. A weekend in the woods. And a clan of the bloodthirsty undead.
16-year-old Tinleigh Brown just wants a fun weekend camping with her friends. Upon their arrival, Simon, the handsome son of the campground’s co-owner, tells them the story of the Children of Dust — a family of vampires that have lived in the area for over a hundred years. At first, Tinleigh and her friends just laugh it off. Who believes in vampires anymore?
But then Tinleigh hears rustling in the woods, has dreams about summoning corpses and wakes up with strange puncture marks on her neck. Are these just bug bites, as Simon and the staff insist? Or are these woods really haunted by the undead? If the Children are real…they might not let Tinleigh and her friends leave unscathed.
Equal parts suspenseful and romantic, Children of Dust will satisfy fans of Anne Rice and Stephenie Meyer alike.

Master vampire Bo Strongwell needs a cop snooping around like he needs a garlic body wash. Fighting rogue vampires keeps him busy enough without Elena suspecting him of murder—even if she smells and tastes like his deepest desires.
