Fang Fiction - by Kate Stayman-London (Paperback)
About the Book
"Tess Rosenbloom is used to living in the dark. She's a trauma survivor and chronic insomniac, the night manager of a chic Brooklyn hotel who spends her free time reading Blood Feud, a massively popular book series about two warring clans of vampires trapped on a mysterious Isle. Tess even dabbles in online conspiracies theorizing that the world of Blood Feud is real - it's fun to hunt for clues! But deep down, Tess doesn't believe vampires actually exist... Until one walks through her door. It turns out the sexy villain of Blood Feud is trapped, and his sister is desperate for Tess to help rescue him. Eager to escape her own life, Tess agrees, and soon she's in a fantasia of lavish palaces and dark forests, on a secret island where the sun never shines, everything is magical, and she's surrounded by deadly vampires - and against her better judgment, she's falling in love with one of them. Visiting the world of your favorite story is any fan's dream, but will Tess be able to outrun the demons of her past (and the vampires of her present) before it becomes a nightmare? In this darkly glamorous rom-com, Tess will find out whether it's worth risking her neck-and her heart-for a chance to reclaim her future"--

The world of your favorite fantasy novels is real, and you're invited to visit. The only catch? It's filled with thirsty vampires. Devour this page-turning romance from the bestselling author of One to Watch.
Tess Rosenbloom is no stranger to the dark. A grad school dropout and chronic insomniac, she spends her nights managing a chic Brooklyn hotel and her days curled up with her favorite vampire novels, Blood Feud. Tess even dabbles in online conspiracies that Blood Feud is real--it's fun to hunt for clues! But deep down, Tess doesn't believe vampires actually exist...
Until one walks through her door.
It turns out Blood Feud is real, and the sexy villain of the novels is trapped. Eager to escape her life, Tess agrees to help rescue him, and soon she's in a fantasia of lavish palaces and enchanted forests, on a secret island where the sun never shines and she's surrounded by deadly vampires--and against her better judgment, she's falling in love with one of them. (And unbeknownst to Tess, her estranged best friend is having a sapphic affair with a beautiful vampire of her own back in New York.)
Visiting the world of your favorite story is any fan's dream, but will Tess be able to outrun the demons of her past (and vampires of her present) before it becomes a nightmare? In this darkly glamorous rom-com, Tess will find out whether it's worth risking her neck--and her heart--for a chance to reclaim her future.
