Alyxandra Harvey

The first three YA fantasy romance novels featuring “vampires with bite and girls who bite back. A witty, exhilarating and fresh take on an old tale” (Kelley Armstrong).

 In the darkness of the vampire realm, the Drake family has hidden for ages. Now, a new generation of young, noble nightwalkers must find their way in the world of immortals, mortals, and vampire hunters as they fight for both survival and the chance of eternal love . . .
 
Hearts at Stake: Solange Drake is coming into her own as the only daughter ever born to an ancient vampire dynasty. And that means a lot of people both dead and undead are going to be watching her. Especially Kieran Black—a vampire hunter out for revenge. But when Solange is abducted by a power-hungry vampire queen, it will take all her friends as well as the daring and dangerous Keiran to save her eternal life . . .
 
Blood Feud: The day Isabeau St. Croix was turned into a vampire, she was buried alive and left for dead by a vicious British lord. Now, over two hundred years later, she has emerged to seek revenge. But she never expected the vampire world to be on the edge of chaos. Nor did she expect to meet the handsome Logan Drake. And when a sinister threat rises to challenge the Drake dynasty, Isabeau and Logan must stand with each other if they are going to survive . . .
 
Out for Blood: Hunter Wild is descended from a long line of elite vampire hunters. But when the hunter academy she attends comes under attack, she must turn to an unlikely ally: the drop-dead gorgeous vampire Quinn Drake. Can she trust her born enemy to help her without using his wiles to ensnare her?
 
 Hailed as “a refreshing take on the familiar teenage vampire drama,” the Drake Chronicles is an irresistible saga of love, humor, and adventure that will keep you turning pages deep into the dark of night (Publishers Weekly).

The Drake Chronicles

The Drake Chronicles Books 1–3: Hearts at Stake, Blood Feud, and Out for Blood

The first novel in a YA fantasy romance series featuring “vampires with bite and girls who bite back. A witty, exhilarating and fresh take on an old tale” (Kelley Armstrong).

 On her sixteenth birthday, Solange Drake is going to die . . .
 
 But that’s okay.
 
 As the only daughter ever born to an ancient vampire dynasty, Solange’s sweet sixteen just means she will fully come into her own as an immortal. Unfortunately, it also means a lot of people both dead and undead are now watching her. Especially Kieran Black—a vengeful agent with an anti-vampire league who blames Solange’s family for his father’s death.
 
 Luckily, Solange has her human best friend, Lucy, who tries to help her have as normal a life as possible, despite her overprotective brothers and the politics of the undead realm.
 
 But when Solange is abducted by a power-hungry vampire queen, it will take all her friends—as well as the daring and dangerous Kieran—to rescue her before she loses her eternal life . . .
 
 In this “action-packed” (School Library Journal) story of love, loyalty, and blood ties, Alyxandra Harvey kicks off a saga of thrills with a nail-biter—and a neck-biter—that will have readers eager to devour the rest of the series.
 
 Hearts at Stake is the 1st book in the Drake Chronicles, which also includes Blood Feud and Out for Blood.

Hearts at Stake

The YA fantasy romance saga continues with “vampires with bite and girls who bite back. A witty, exhilarating and fresh take on an old tale” (Kelley Armstrong).

 The day Isabeau St. Croix was turned into a vampire, she was buried alive and left for dead by a vicious British lord. Now, over two hundred years later, she has finally emerged from her nightmarish captivity to seek revenge.
 
 To her dismay, the vampire world is edging on chaos as different factions vie for power, and Isabeau soon finds herself pulled into the shadowy world of undead politics and betrayal. It is there she meets the handsome Logan Drake, whose noble family must fend off those who would try to usurp them.
 
 Then the dread vampire Montmartre begins a plot that will force Logan’s sister, Solange, into a marriage that will allow him to claim the throne for himself. And unless the clans stand together—and Isabeau and Logan stand with each other—the entire vampire realm may be torn asunder.
 
 With this second adventure in the Drake Chronicles, Alyxandra Harvey “continues to weave an action-packed story full of intrigue, suspense, and romance with a great cast of characters” (School Library Journal).

 Blood Feud is the 2nd book in the Drake Chronicles, which also includes Hearts at Stake and Out for Blood.

Blood Feud

The thrilling third novel in this YA series featuring “vampires with bite and girls who bite back. A witty, exhilarating and fresh take on an old tale” (Kelley Armstrong).

 Hunter Wild attends the secret Helios-Ra Academy, following in her family’s tradition of training as vampire hunters. So when she receives a special invitation to attend the coronation of vampire queen Helena Drake, she’s surprised to think of vampires as something other than evil prey. Some of them, like Helena’s son Quinn, are actually drop-dead gorgeous.
 
 And when her fellow students are struck by a mysterious illness, Hunter suspects they are under attack not from the nightwalkers, but from within the academy. To save her schoolmates, she will have to turn to an unlikely ally whose family rules the realm of the undead: Quinn Drake.
 
 Can Hunter trust her born enemy to have her back without trying to seduce her?
 
 Full of action, romance, and intrigue, the latest chapter in the Drake Chronicles is a must-read for vampire fiction lovers looking for “an all-around kick-ass good time” (Fyrefly’s Book Blog).
 
 Out for Blood is the 3rd book in the Drake Chronicles, which also includes Hearts at Stake and Blood Feud.

Out for Blood

The fourth book in the young adult vampire romance series that’s “fun, funny, and a relief from Twilight wannabes” from the author of Out for Blood (Booklist).
 
 As the newly crowned vampire princess, Solange Drake has a lot to get used to—including some new fangs. Her family is also hosting the Blood Moon, a rare gathering, in the forest near their farm, which means Solange’s best friend, the all-too-human Lucy, must keep her distance, whether she wants to or not.
 
 While the Drakes are busy with the party—and keeping a pack of feral vampires at bay—Lucy has her training at the Helios-Ra Academy (aka Vampire–Hunter High) to keep her occupied. And there’s her cousin Christabel, who almost seems to have a personality when her head isn’t buried in a book. But when Christabel is mistaken for Lucy and kidnapped, it becomes clear that someone—or something—wants to hit Solange where it hurts.
 
 No one messes with Connor Drake’s friends and family and gets away with it, especially since Christabel has awoken feelings in him he can’t fight, including the fear that he might not be able to save her . . .

Bleeding Hearts

The author of Bleeding Hearts delivers a red-hot adventure in the young adult series featuring “vampires with bite and girls who bite back” (Kelley Armstrong, #1 New York Times–bestselling author).
 
 Nothing about Solange Drake is normal. She’s a newly crowned vampire princess, after all. But she’s also having trouble with her bloodchange—too much trouble. Which is probably why she just tried to eat her boyfriend’s face. The couple has survived treachery, vendettas, and bounties, but they might not be able to survive each other.
 
 Nicholas Drake is starting to think that Solange, his little sister, is turning into a monster. That doesn’t bode well for any of them, including his human girlfriend, Lucy, Solange’s best friend. Because she’d rather kiss vampires than kill them, Lucy is already having trouble fitting in at Helios-Ra Academy. To make matters worse, dangerous new hunters have appeared on the scene . . . ones who live and die by the motto Better dead than undead.
 
 Now it’s up to Nicholas to protect Lucy from Solange and Solange from herself, without having to choose between love and blood . . .

Blood Moon

A rogue vampire threatens humans and undead alike in the thrilling young adult fantasy series that’s “fun, funny, and a relief from Twilight wannabes” (Booklist).
 
 Vampires and magic just don’t mix. That’s what Solange Drake is figuring out. Well, the real Solange. Not the madwoman who has taken over her body and ripped the Queen’s crown from her own mother’s hands to fulfill an ancient prophecy. The real Solange is trapped in the imposter’s mind—somewhere in twelfth-century Britain—where she faces the perils of witches, dragons, and knights.
 
 Meanwhile, back in Violet Hill, the fake Solange has gone on a blood-drunk rampage, feeding on civilians in blatant disregard of a decade’s worth of treaties. With her best friend possessed and her boyfriend missing, Lucy knows, if she doesn’t find a way to reach Solange, the human vampire hunters will exact their revenge—and bring a bloodbath down upon the town like no one has ever seen before. Love and loyalty. Betrayal and deception. The weapons at hand will determine who wins and who loses in this battle royale.
