Vampire Miami  

(The Human Revolt #1)

by Phil Tucker 

BLURB:

Five years ago, the war ended and Miami was given to the vampires. Five years ago, the US turned its back on those trapped behind the Wall – and life in the vampire kingdom has degenerated into a grisly struggle for survival.

When naive and impulsive Selah Brown leaves Brooklyn to search for her father in the dead heart of the vampire city, she discovers that nothing is as it was explained to the American public—and her search is subverted into a quest to expose the truth before the horrors of the city can claim her.

Yet what hidden talent could one young woman possess that would allow her to stand a chance?

 

 MY TEASER:

 

His soulless eyes burned into her own, seared through her, and she couldn’t think, couldn’t act. She wanted to run, but instead he held out his hand, the gesture strangely plaintive, his face taking on a vulnerable cast that shocked her even more than his eyes. It was as if he were as shocked to see her as she was to see him. His fingers were long, his hand steady, and not knowing what else to do, she reached and took his hand with her own.
