Keen's Turn: A High-Stakes Vampire Horror Comedy

Melaina Blanc

Jared Stern is going to die. That is, unless he can slay a vampire before falling to his fangs... When an anxious altruist becomes chance witness to a vampire's murderous meal, he takes it upon himself to rid his city of the threat. But the vampire, not so easily defeated, takes an interest of his own in his would-be slayer. Stakes are raised in ensuing bloody battles, a bout of about turns of turns of mind, and a deadpan penchant for puns—and that's only the beginning. So join me, for a lively horror thriller, a tale of tricks and traps traversing New York City. This is Star–Cross, book one.
