SummaryHe wasn’t supposed to remember.
Callie is a royal vampire. She hunts by taking the blood from her victims and erases their memories afterwards. She goes undetected until a victim named Chase approaches her with all his memories intact. He is intrigued and attracted. She is terrified. What happens when a human mixes with the immortal world? Chaos.
Callie’s 18th birthday has passed and she is coming out at the annual blood ball. Will she find a mate or will she suffer the repercussions of her indiscretion? She is brought to the Vampire council and they must decide what to do with Chase. Do they kill him, or turn him to protect their secret?

Andrea: Mysterious, Romantic, Paranormal.
Andrea: I planned this as a standalone novel and at the end, the characters naturally left an opening if I wanted to write a sequel. I wasn’t expecting that.
Andrea: Ooh Love by Charlotte Sometimes.
Andrea: It just popped into my head one day and I immediately went to work on it. It took me two months to write my rough draft.
Andrea: Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne taught me to be descriptive and Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll taught me to be creative.
Andrea: I read 346 books last year. I got my bachelor’s degree in Biology and used to be a scientist. I don’t watch a lot of T.V.
Andrea: I wanted to be an author since grade school and have written on and off for fun throughout the years.
Andrea: …music and a smelly candle burning.
Andrea: If you love Devour, then keep an eye out for all my new titles coming out this year, I have 6 more planned.

So neat how characters have a mind of their own and can take a story where the author didn’t originally plan, I have heard that so many times, and its cool
Jennifer Bielman
I agree. I have even experienced this in my own writing.

365 books last year??? Wow!! Great post and questions, Jennifer. I haven’t heard of that song picked. Alice and Wonderland is certainly a book to inspire creativity. I hope you have an excellent weekend 😀 Jaclyn @ JC’s Book Haven.
