The Dark Stirs (The Dark Matter #1)

A night out turns deadly when Angelique Carlson crosses paths with a deluded maniac roaming the streets of Baltimore, but this is no ordinary killer. Helpless in the monster's arms, an unlikely savior appears to her rescue: John Wilkins, a bland and unaspiring man.

Brought together by that ill-fated night, the two forge a relationship moored in opposing realities-mundane life or a world darker and deeper than any could imagine. While John's stability is enough for Angelique at first, her slow descent into the dark threatens to rip their fragile relationship apart. After all, life goes on... until it doesn't.

Pulled down the path of darkness, Angelique follows the one thing she knows for sure:

"His name is Anders Saffenssen, and he is a vampire."
