Their lives are open to the world, and exposed, to the eager eyes of her audience as they wait for the next post. Unknowing of the damage Valeria has brought upon the three vampires, she must face the consequences of her blog. Although scared, Valeria holds her ground against the forces who wish for the destruction of her new family. Risking everything to protect them regardless if she is just a mere human.
