BLESSED
By Cynthia Leitich Smith
With a wink and a nod to Bram Stoker, best-selling author Cynthia Leitich Smith unites the casts of Tantalize and Eternal in a delicious dark fantasy her fans will devour.
Quincie Morris, teen restaurateur and neophyte vampire, is in the fight of her life or undeath. Even as she adjusts to her new appetites, she must clear her best friend and true love, the hybrid-werewolf Kieren, of murder charges; thwart the apocalyptic ambitions of Bradley Sanguini, the seductive vampire-chef who blessed her; and keep her dead parents restaurant up and running. She hires a more homespun chef and adds the preternaturally beautiful Zachary to her wait staff. But with hundreds of new vampires on the rise and Bradley off assuming the powers of Dracula Prime, Zachary soon reveals his true nature and a flaming sword and they hit the road to staunch the bloodshed before it s too late. Even if they save the world, will there be time left to salvage Quincie's soul?
- The latest dark fantasy from New York Times best-selling author Cynthia Leitich Smith. Fans of the first two books will be eager for this one.
- Characters from both Tantalize and Eternal appear in Blessed, and the two storylines intersect and build to a thrilling conclusion.
- Vampires, shapeshifters, angels, doomed romance, restaurant culture, and a road trip - all with a strong tie-in to Bram Stoker's Dracula that will please liberal-minded teachers
