    Summary

    The city of Arus has been thriving for centuries, not by the hands of humans, but by the undead hands of the vampires that carefully guide them. These vampires do not wish to kill the mortals around them, but hide among them to live out their undead lives in peace. However, this becomes increasingly difficult when a new blood disease starts spreading through the community. Rumors spread as the clans start casting suspicion on each other. To keep the peace a team made up of several different clans is formed to get to the bottom of this disease to see what brought about such sickness to their fellow kindred.

    However, this investigation leads the team to start questioning each other's motivations and uncovering very personal secrets as they are forced further down the rabbit hole.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    A stellar Vampire fic with amazing pacing, bitting dialogue, and a gorgeous writing style.
    I had only come to finish about half of this book either in late 2020 or 21’- but I had enjoyed it so much I wanted to limit my reading. Now more than 3 years later, revisiting this excellent fix seemed becoming. I’m glad to have finished this and continue to be in awe of the author’s writings.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ SIX STARS (my rating system is fucked now but Idc- this is the exception)

    Summary

    Maybe insulting the deadliest man alive was a bad idea. He was too tired to give a shit. He had not slept in days. In the span of one week he had been tortured, gone through withdrawal, been shot and barely taken care of the bullet wound, and then learned his boyfriend he had been grieving for four years was alive. Sue him if his self preservation was a little out of whack.

    -

    Or! What if Curt and Owen talked about their problems like big boys?

    Ex-lovers and Criminals-for-Hire Curt Mega and Owen Carvour haven't seen each other for three years. When they run into each other at a bar, they hook up once more, and immediately brand it as a mistake and vow to never see each other again. That is, until the next morning when they learn they've both been hired for the same job. Tatiana, Owen, Cynthia, Barb, and Curt have been contracted by a mysterious backer to rob Richard Big's Casino on Eos, the vacation resort on Mars. As they struggle to pull off the heist of the millennium, they race against time, feelings, and ulterior motives. To come out alive, they'll need to learn to trust each other again, and keep their eyes on the prize.

    Summary

    When Lance’s previously obsolete skills in language suddenly become very useful, he finds himself wondering why aliens can’t account for the fact that humans, particularly him, need sleep and would prefer linear timelines.
