Desperate Housevamps

SUBURBIA SUCKS. LITERALLY.

Becca Sterling is dead. Well, undead. She's a single mom, a vampire, and the proud new owner of a Victorian fixer-upper in the quiet, manicured town of Oakhaven. She doesn't want trouble; she just wants to raise her teenage daughter, Chloe, drink her O-negative coffee in peace, and maybe join the PTA without accidentally eating the president.

But 404 Hemlock Terrace has a history. The previous owner was a necromancer with a hoarding problem and a penchant for dark magic, leaving Becca with a basement full of cursed objects and a carnivorous houseplant named Franklin who hates the mailman.

As if the haunted plumbing wasn't enough, Becca has a new problem: Dan Miller. He's the town's rugged, infuriatingly handsome handyman. He's also a retired vampire hunter.

Miller thinks Becca is just a stressed-out single mother with a weird skin condition. Becca knows he's the most dangerous thing in her life. But when the dark magic in her house starts targeting Chloe, and bodies start turning up in the perfectly trimmed hedges, Becca and Miller are forced into an uneasy alliance.

Now, Becca has to save her home, protect her daughter, and solve a murder mystery, all while hiding her fangs from the man trained to stake her.

Welcome to the neighborhood. Try not to die.
