Dreamleaf Blues
A Tale of Love, Loss, and Vampirism in a Modern-day Dark Fantasy World Genevieve Jameson had a life like any other adolescent until the eve of her eighteenth birthday celebrations, when Annabelle Jones, her life-long best friend, roommate, and love interest all in one, never returns home from her well-paid shady evening job - a line of employment that Genevieve believes is dealing the strange blue hallucinogenic drug, Dreamleaf. After following the threads of her investigation to the organised crime gangs' booming drug business, Genevieve is brought to death's door during her snooping and transformed into a Vampire Nightclaw, a being capable of impressive feats of agility and grace. Discovering that there is more to her world than meets the eye, Genevieve is dragged into fighting alongside her vampiric maker's gaudy and thuggish 'Golden Fangs' gang, through a mutually beneficial arrangement and a healthy dose of blackmail. She is forged into a deadly fighter and keen tactician as she uses her new-found powers to search for answers regarding her beloved's fate. Set five years before the events of Gloom Rising, Dreamleaf Blues ties neatly into the Book Wielder Saga and can be enjoyed as a standalone novel. It is the golden age of the gang, and the modern-day world of Mydia is rife with corruption throughout the human society along with the Vampires, Werewolves, and Mages that secretly live amongst them. The limits of Genevieve's friendship and feelings are put to the test as she adapts to her new life as a Vampire within the Supernatural society and the violent Golden Fangs gang, but the two girls had made a promise long ago to look out for one another, no matter what... and best friends keep their promises.
