Eleisha, a vampire, is far older than she looks

and makes men yearn to care for her. Then she usually kills them, since self-preservation comes first. So when an old vampire friend kills himself, Eleisha is shocked. And what she finds in his home shows how world-weary he had become—hoarding corpses and keeping records of vampires—actual names and addresses.

Now the police know who Eleisha is, and more alarmingly, what she is. But she soon realizes that being known may have its uses—even if it puts her and her kind at risk.
