The Shadows: A Treaty With Vampires
Anna Sullivan
The Clemonte family lives with skeletons hidden in their cupboards. When Ophelia Clemonte is saved from a near-death experience by a mysterious man, she throws all rules and caution of the family into the air and resolves to get to know Seth. However, digging into the past is like digging a grave, and soon, Ophelia realizes that not only has she been lied to her whole life, but a sinister entity also lurks in the shadows, counting down the days of the Clemonte family. It's a race against time, as she tries to find a way to break the curse, not realizing the monster is closer than she thinks.

Seth stood for a moment with a slight smile. In the dim light, he looked like a beautiful mirage; the kind of unearthly beautiful creatures you could only see in dreams, and Ophelia wondered if this was a dream. If perhaps she was still laying on the bathroom floor and hadn't found the courage to leave. Or maybe she was still asleep on the first day they had moved into the mansion, and Seth Bonavich was not a real person, but a figment of her imagination.
