With every action lies a reaction. This is the tale of Vanity, The Vampiress.

WHEN NIGHT FALLS, the city of New Orleans crawls with creatures of a dark nature. I fall victim to Carlisle, the one who calls himself The King—A self-righteous, unremorseful pale one who stole my mortality and left me for dead. His bite is relentless, but MY BLOOD is stimulated when the poison of his kind mixes with the essence of my rare grade, heightening powers buried deep inside of me.

The city has been corrupted under the rule of Adela Rue, Queen of the New Orleans Underworld, surviving ravenous raids, and attacks by her army for decades. I unleash a holy hell on her betrothed, Carlisle, the dark soul who turned me and serves at her side. But when she learns of MY EXISTENCE—MY WRATH—MYPLANS to dethrone her, and free The Big Easy of her reign, she orders my beheading.

A war is sparked as a legion of supernatural beings aid me in my fight to cripple the blood thirsty Queen’s appetite for anarchy—Powerful WITCHES, SEERS, VAMPIRE LORDS, and the SILVER LEAF WOLF CLAN.

Cason, King of the Silver Leaf’s, has sheltered me since I was a lost mortal wandering the city. My newfound, enhanced senses lead us to cross the boundary of our FRIENDSHIP, intensifying our BOND. And with dark forces out to end me, he vows to SLAY MY ENEMIES, protecting me from Adela’s attempts to capture me as we face nights of terror against darkness.

“Who made you?”

“That would be the fleeing man who left you to clean up his mess. Typical, don’t you think? Men like him have a sense of entitlement. Going around doing as they please without repercussions. Unfortunately for him, I’m the ramification he didn’t see coming.” #booksky

It’s terrifying. You just have to trust yourself and them and always be there to guide when needed. They are going to have to go thru some ish, but hopefully having your support to stop them from breaking

And I love that you recognize that! I love my babies and will live and die for them but I would be lying if at times I wished I would have stood by my original decision not to have children. I was far too selfish brining them into this hell hole of a world

As a parent your can’t just crawl into a hole and spiral. You have to spiral in silence with a smile plastered on your face making sure to try to help your child have the best possible day while you’re in your own personal hell….

A story abt a woman whose innocence, power, & life was violently stripped from her but instead of laying there & dying after being thrown into a firey grave she willed herself to live. Not only to live, but forged a power so great that she becomes the 1st Dragon #thefirstdragon #booksky #mustread

hat do you do when another Don in your organization owes you a million dollars that he hasn’t paid back and he’s engaged to the woman that you’ve had a crush on for years? You double his balance and kidnap his girl 🤷🏾‍♀️ #blackbooksky #foreverhisfavorite #blackromancebooks

Not necessarily.. Hearts can be transplanted which means they have to still be pumping in order to be placed into a new host.

The Opportunity follows Nadine who suffered significant religious trauma and trauma from her mother after getting caught kissing a girl at the age of 10. The way that her mother reacted forced Nadine down a path of hiding a side of her. While trying to be the woman her parents told her god required her to be, she became judgmental, a caged bird struggling to live a life that is unfulfilling. Put you can only hide who you are for so long. Nadine not being honest with herself or those around her, to include her husband, really began to destroy those relationships. When the nanny agency sends a replacement nanny for their child, the nanny makes sure that Nadine is unable to resist. This story is about a woman in her 40s finally giving herself grace and permission to be free.

If you’re looking for a series where black women are given the freedom to explore their sexuality and redefine what their relationships look for them I highly recommend The Secret Series by @richardwriteson.bsky.social #theoath #theoffer #theopportunity #booksky #skybooks #polyromance #blackromance
