The Priestess & the Vampire: urban fantasy vampire romance

Dive into this action-packed vampire romance series starter with slow burn vibes by urban fantasy author, Thea Atkinson

She's got a deadly problem—her blood is irresistible to vampires.

Heartbroken and betrayed, Jade's fiancé has been cheating on her, but she's not just a victim—she's a fighter. Determined to move on, she takes a risky plunge, accepting a date with a mysterious stranger who invites her to an extravagant costume party at his billionaire boss's gothic mansion. Little does she know, this isn't just a party—it's a deadly trap.

Dressed as a seductive voodoo priestess, Jade tries to mask her pain with confidence. Surrounded by alluring Draculas and other supernatural creatures, she's thrust into a world where the myths are dangerously real. But when her charming date reveals his true intentions, she's betrayed again—set up to be the next blood offering for a real, deadly vampire.

Just when all seems lost, the devastatingly handsome billionaire, disguised as a fierce Viking, rescues her from the fangs of death. But this isn't a fairy tale. As she recovers in his sprawling, gothic estate, the brooding, alpha vampire gives her an impossible choice: die a swift death or become his immortal thrall, bound in eternal servitude to an ancient, powerful vampire who craves her blood above all else.

Jade's fight for survival isn't just about saving her life—she must also reclaim her self-worth in this ruthless world where humans are prey. Worse yet, she's torn by her growing attraction to the enigmatic vampire who saved her, knowing he's as dangerous as he is irresistible. But that's not her only problem…

The costume she rented hides a dark curse, one that binds her to a fate worse than death. If she doesn't break it, Jade won't just lose her blood—she could lose her very soul.
