Every mortal who works at network headquarters knows that vampires reside below them. They were the first to surrender to the powerful Immortal Guardians who hunt them. And they did so, hoping they can be saved, that the doctors and scientists the Immortal Guardians employ can halt the progressive brain damage that robs all vampires of their sanity. Though curious, Emma never thought she would meet any of the vampires who remain under heavy guard several stories beneath her office. Then mercenaries strike, bombarding the building with heavy artillery. The vampires are freed to join the fray… and Cliff saves her life.
From that moment on, she can’t stop thinking about him regardless of the restrictions placed on interactions with vampires. When Emma discovers a way to speak to Cliff at network headquarters, she becomes even more fascinated by him. He’s smart, charming, and honorable to his core despite the darkness that lies ahead. And he seems to crave her company as much as she does his. Aware of the eyes that watch them, they keep their encounters innocent, limiting them to those of mere acquaintances. Nevertheless, their attraction grows and she soon falls in love with him even as the madness begins to claim him.
Cliff realizes his future is dark. As one vampire friend after another succumbs to insanity, hope that network doctors will be able to find a cure in time to keep him from meeting the same fate begins to dwindle, leaving him little to look forward to… until he meets Emma. Just speaking to her brings him a happiness and contentment he hasn’t experienced since before his transformation. And when they finally find a way to be alone together, everything changes. Emma burrows her way right into his heart and quiets the voices. She sparks dreams of a future with her that strengthen his determination to beat back the madness. But as time passes, the voices grow louder and insanity begins to chip away at him until he fears it will eradicate every part of him she fell in love with.
Will the two of them find a way to defy the odds and find their happily-ever-after? Or will Cliff’s descent consume him?

Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday! This week’s topic is Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time. When I read the topic, my mind immediately jumped to my favorite books. Though there is something to be said for giving books a second chance, most generally I don’t want to read books again that I didn’t enjoy the first time around. Let’s get to the list!
Moon Called by Patricia Briggs-I know. I know. I’ve mentioned this series a lot, but it is so good! I fell in love with it right from the start and would love to go back and fall in love with it again.
Beauty by Robin McKinely-Again, I know I’ve mentioned this book many times, but it is a cherished favorite. It would be wonderful to go back and experience it again.
Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice-The very first vampire book I ever read! I’d love to discover vampires again.
Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien-I read the first book in the series in school and absolutely had to get the rest of the books afterward. It would be great to discover Middle Earth all over again!
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins-I was hesitant to read this one as I’m not a dystopian fan, but I had a very good friend recommend it. Once I started reading, I devoured this series! I couldn’t read fast enough. I’d love to feel that intensity again.
Discount Prices by C.S. Feldman-I picked this up not knowing what to expect, and I loved it! I’d like to experience that pleasant surprise again.
Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder-I read this in elementary school, and my teacher made it so much fun! It was when I fell in love with historical fiction.
Undead and Unwed by Mary Janice Davidson-While I quit reading this series, I truly loved the first several books. I read it with a friend and we shared a lot of laughs over it! That would be fun to experience again.
My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows-Another book that I’d love to laugh over for the first time! It is by far my favorite in the Lady Janie series.
Charlie the Ranch Dog by Ree Drummond-My kids loved this book when they were younger! I’d love to experience the first time we all sat on the couch giggling as I read again.
Have you read any of these? Would you like to experience them for the first time? What other books would you like to read again for the first time?

Wasn’t this a fun prompt? There are so many different ways to answer it.
1. While waiting for news of any sort, especially if you don’t yet know if it will be positive or negative news.
2. At the dentist’s or doctor’s office.
3. When waking up. Why not get a few pages in while you’re waiting for the tea to steep or the eggs to finish hard boiling.
4. When I’m bored or restless.
5. At a coffee shop.
6. While healing from an injury. I fractured a bone a few years ago and was so grateful for the cheerful distraction of books while I did all of the resting needed for my body to fully heal.
7. After donating blood or receiving a vaccination. Reading can help speed through the mandatory observation period for minor procedures like these.
8. When I’m feeling nervous.
9. If I’m in a lighthearted mood.
10. When I’ve had a bad dream. Sometimes it helps to clear those images out of my mind in the middle of the night if I can find happier ones to take their places.
