Immortal Boss

She never wanted a vampire boss. He never saw the point of being good. Now they hunt serial killers together—and pretend the tension between them is purely professional. I met my father once in a Transylvanian café. He called himself “Renfield,” scribbled in strange ledgers, and muttered about “the master.” Years later, I’m summoned to a Carpathian castle for my inheritance. Instead of riches, I inherit servitude to Alexandru—an arrogant, centuries-old vampire who expects me to run his “affairs.” I flee back to Ohio. He follows—and my best friend ends up on his dinner menu.

Thanks to an unfortunate quirk of my family tree, I’m stuck serving a dangerous vampire who looks like a luxury menswear ad and thinks humans are livestock. Lately, though, he’s been looking at me like I might be something more than his latest Renfield. When a new body turns up—death by crossbow bolt—I’m relieved. Not that death is good. But at least now there’s a killer for Alexandru and me to hunt… which means he’ll have someone to drain who isn’t a friend. The investigation should be straightforward. It isn’t. Every pattern falls apart. Every lead points somewhere new.
