Book 1 (Lotus's Journey, Part I) Watcher (Lotus's Journey, Part II) Guardian (Lotus's Journey, Part III) Don't let the pretty name fool you. This daughter is no delicate flower. Lotus grew up orphaned. Having no idea who her real parents were, she's been drifting around the U.S. for over 100 years, moving every 15 or so since she just doesn't seem to age. She'd figured out on her own that she had to be at least part vampire, as she needs to suck on a few blood bags a month to survive. Working as a detective with the Denver P.D., Lotus is searching desperately for a serial killer who is murdering the homeless of the city. Except these are not ritualistic or thrill killings. These victims have been drained of blood and Lotus knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they have been committed by a vampire. Her search will take her to Las Vegas, and that is where the true adventure will begin. There, she finds out that the tables have turned and she’s not the hunter, but the hunted… and that catching a vampire serial killer is now the least of her problems. A very high price tag has been placed on her head by the vampire who claims he is her father – Vlad Montour, also known as Dracula himself. Lotus’s adventure will not only lead her to three long, lost sisters she never knew she had, but to Vlad himself. Unfortunately for Vlad, all his daughters want him dead – and they all have their own reasons why. For Readers 18+.
