Retrograde

Being a vampire comes with too many problems.

Maddox lives a comfortable life, even if it is a little boring. Then he meets Destiny, and it's love at first. She shows him a side of the world he never knew existed. A side filled with magic, vampires, werewolves and wererats. Everything is going well until her ex shows up and Maddox finds himself in the center of a blood feud between vampires. Destiny has her own secrets that threaten not only their relationship, but their lives.

It doesn't take long before Maddox is fighting for his life against one of the most powerful vampire families in the country. The solution is a trip from Illinois to Louisiana, but of course, nothing goes as planned. Things only get worse when he meets the cult of swamp vampires that Destiny calls her family. 

Will Maddox ever be able to stop running for his life and settle down with the love of his life?

The Exsanguinate series is an anthology series, you don't need to read the other books, but it would be appreciated.
