Böcker av Raven Belasco

Covered in blood, a knife in one hand and a gun in the other. This rescue attempt has gone terribly wrong.I was finally getting used to life among the am'r (the name vampires use for themselves) in Romania, archiving a library of ancient texts, learning how to fight, and having lots of quality time with Sandu-who used to go by the name Dracula-perhaps you've heard of him?But then the dreams started. Bagamil, the maker of Sandu (and, ahem, also my lover-life has gotten a lot more exciting recently), was supposed to be on a mission to the am'r of South America, but he has been missing for months now, and those nightmares tell me that something is terribly wrong.So Sandu made rescue plans, and I insisted on coming along to help. But now I've been separated from all the am'r who are our allies, and I'm trapped in a booby-trapped cave system down at the bottom of the world, chased by enemy vampires with knives and guns-not fair!And I have two problems even on top of that! First, I'm now part-am'r, which makes me smell even more delicious to them, and secondly, well, there seems to be even more bad guys than expected down here, and they all seem to be holding some deep grudges against both Sandu and Bagamil. And they want revenge right now.How can I find my beloveds without falling into a trap or being taken captive by the hangry bad guys? Once we're all together again, how do we figure some way out of all of this? If I've learned anything in my time amongst the am'r, it's only going to be by fighting our way out....Blood Sine Qua Non is the second book in a brand new, dark urban fantasy series mixing horror, and history, featuring a snarky librarian heroine and a sensual but complex hero in the story of an adventure like no other, with thrilling plot-twists and characters faced with "personal growth or death." Ranging from Romania through gorgeous settings in Buenos Aires and Tierra del Fuego, get caught up in the clashes of personality and chaotic melees, fight for love with guns, knives, and the ultimate weapon against vampires: fire.What to expect: Uninhibited language, strong female lead who can fight, non-monogamy, LGBTQ+ characters, graphic violence, and blood feeding imagery.

"WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ME AND A MONSTER?"I hadn't fully recovered from nearly dying while rescuing one of my beloveds-but they promised me a vacation! And in a city I always wanted visit-back when I wasn't part vampire. Since this is a vampire vacation, I can only see the sights at night. But, being a librarian, sneaking into museums after hours isn't exactly a hardship...Meeting the am'r (vampires) of London was stressful enough, but then a powerful and mysterious stranger demanded that Bagamil, the oldest of the am'r-and my lover, which is still a surprise to me-come to treat with him in the far North. My vacation got cut short, but far worse, this is an enemy none of us expected, and even the most powerful am'r never saw coming.And that's when things got weird-even by my new standards. The upside? I finally get a chance to find out about my ageless lover, and hear the story of how the am'r began-and it's in a far more distant past than I ever imagined. The downside? I might never get a chance to write this story down, because our enemy wants vengeance on my beloveds, and as part of that, to turn me against them. If I won't choose his side, he's fine with killing me all-the-way dead.The choice might seem easy to you, but his mesmerism is far more powerful than any other am'r I've ever met. Will the am'r blood that's already in my veins make me strong enough to resist him, or is this the place and time where the world's oldest vampire, Dracula's, and my own story ends...? Blood Ad Infinitum is the third book in a fresh and unique dark fantasy series mixing horror, history, and blood-soaked passion. Featuring a snarky librarian heroine in an adventure like no other, with thrilling plot twists and characters faced with "personal growth or death." Ranging through England, the Middle East, and Russia, and through time from the Neolithic to modern day, get caught up in the hot-blooded origin story of the am'r and a desperate fight throughout the centuries. The newest and least powerful must in the end decide who will lead them all-but will she pay the ultimate price for it?

Blood and books and swords and flamethrowers. And one librarian, in over her head. How did I get here: covered in blood and holding a sword I can't use?It all started when the dark and mysterious stranger (he wasn't that tall) showed up at my children's reading hour. Of course I noticed him. I'd been single (and bored) for longer than I care to admit. Me, I'm Anushka (Noosh) Rosetti, head librarian. He turned out to be a vampire. And not just any vampire: Vlad Dracula. Although he goes by another name, these days, and he says he's changed his violent ways. He definitely seemed more of a lover than a fighter. At first.In a whirlwind of passion, I made a crucial but impulsive decision: share blood with him a third time, and give up normal human society forever, making my life among the "am'r"-that's what the vampires call themselves.The whirlwind just keeps spinning faster. Before I know it, I'm at an am'r summit meeting-and then, abducted by Vlad's oldest enemy, who's hoping to use me to undo all of my new family's plans to save am'r society from tearing itself apart.I thought I was just going to archive some ancient books, but now somehow I have to keep myself from being used as a pawn by the craziest bad guy ever, escape back to the good guys (and I'm not sure how "good" they really are) across a desert (I don't even know what country I'm in!) and not be killed in the process. I don't know how I will survive the next five minutes, never mind save my beloved's life, too... Blood Ex Libris is the first book in a fresh and unique dark fantasy series mixing horror, history, and blood-soaked passion featuring a snarky librarian in the story of a life that unfolds in unexpected ways from humdrum to death-defying thrills, from Middle America to the middle of an unknown desert, surrounded by sword-fighting, explosions, and the ultimate drama of immortals meeting death.
