I'm stunned to learn my family's “inheritance” is servitude to an ancient, arrogant vampire. No thanks! Except now my friend might be his next meal, so I cut a deal: I’ll work for him—if he only drains the serial killers we catch.

I met my father exactly once—at a café in Transylvania. He went by the name "Renfield," scribbled in strange ledgers and muttered weirdly about “the master.”

Years later, I’m summoned to a remote castle in the Carpathian Mountains. Supposedly my father has left an inheritance.

What could go wrong?

Try everything. My “inheritance” turns out to be a new career—or should I say forced servitude: I'm to take over for my father as the next in a long line of servants to an arrogant, centuries-old vampire named Alexandru.

Hard pass.

Except Alexandru doesn’t take no for an answer. He follows me home to Ohio, where people I love are looking like dinner to him. To save them, I cut a deal: I’ll manage his vampire affairs—if he only feeds on people who deserve it.

Serial killers, to be exact.

Now my spreadsheets and his hunting skills have one goal: catch murderers before Alexandru loses control.

But surviving the killer might be the easy part, because even though Alexandru is a monster who sees humans as livestock, nothing in my life has prepared me for his dark magnetism.
