A new normal?
Josephine Pajimula has settled into being a full time Thrall—a human nanny to an elderly vampire—and living with a bunch of dramatic but lovable vampires. Between introducing her undead roommates to new technology and balancing her human relationships, Josephine has her work cut out for her.
When mysterious supernatural events occur, the obvious culprit has to be Misha, the resident spirit… right? Maybe if Josephine wasn’t so distracted navigating her new relationship with Eadwulf, she could think more clearly. Having a vampire for a boss was one thing, but now he’s also her boyfriend!
Can Josephine figure out what’s causing the strange happenings in Rosalee Castle? What will she tell her family at the dinner table? Is “boyfriend” the best title for the guy who is also technically your “vampire master”? And more importantly… Shouldn’t this vampire bite have healed already?
Strange Blood is the second book in the Odd Blood series featuring diverse characters and creative expletives. A hybrid romance with cozy horror elements and lots of dark comedy. This story contains maybe .05% of spice but is 100% a kissing book, continuing the story of a newly discovered demisexual main character.
