Crimson Fate [Vampires of Washington, #3]


Book Description

I've been trapped in D.C for a few months, and the vamps have torn my life apart. Now I'm consumed by three thoughts: This city has taken almost everything from me. I've been forced to betray myself, and everyone else. I'm taking my revenge, no matter what it takes. After a devastating turn of events that is partially my fault, the Diamonds are back to where they started: nowhere and hiding from the cruel government they want to change. Things are still tense between me and Jeremy, and I've got zero chance of going back to my old life now. They've taken that from me. And now all that's left is my desire for revenge. Not just for me, but for everyone I've been forced to hurt. I must get close to Senator Goodman, and destroy him, and this whole system, from the inside. Jeremy and I will get our payback, together, if we can figure out how to have a real relationship. But it won't be easy. Goodman holds his secrets and weaknesses close, and he's everything I ever tried to escape. And at any time, he could destroy what little of me is left. And worse? It turns out that Goodman is more evil than I imagined, and his plans could usher in an era of real darkness. This is bigger than just revenge. The fate of the country rests on my shoulders.

Still trapped in Washington D. C, the city of the vampires, I've found that only three things are certain: I've survived the first trial. I'm still claimed by Jeremy. And every vampire in the city is watching me. Being claimed by the President's son might have spared my life, but I've got more problems. Now is the time for the vampires to choose their heirs from among the survivors of the Young Activists' Panel. Worse, my temper and connection to Jeremy will attract every power-hungry politician. If I can't escape, I'll become what I hate, and neither me nor Jeremy wants that. But Jeremy has a trick up his sleeve: a secret group bent on stopping the vampires' cruel rule. But the thing is, they won't help me for free. They need fighters. They need me. Apparently, I could make all the difference. Only, I can't be what they want me to be. When the most sadistic vamp of them all sets his sights on me, and Jeremy seems to be holding something back, I've got to escape yesterday. But the decision may not be as easy as I thought, and the consequences could last forever.
