When you’re starting a relationship, blood drinking is a big red flag . . . A delicious tale by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Enchanted to Meet You!
Sick of hearing about vampires? So is Meena Harper. The soap opera writer is not happy when her show jumps onto the bloodsucker bandwagon and adds a vampire character. It’s not that she’s unfamiliar with the supernatural—she herself has the ability to foresee other people’s deaths. But her precognition couldn’t prepare her for sexy, brooding Romanian history professor Lucien Antonescu . . .
After murder victims drained of blood start turning up in New York City, Meena is accosted by the exceedingly attractive Alaric, a vampire hunter who has some bad news for her about her boyfriend. Turns out Lucien has a bit of a drinking problem, and it doesn’t involve alcohol. And Alaric, who’s investigating the killing spree, wants her help tracking him down. What to do? Who to believe? If only she could get a glimpse of her own destiny . . .

“I’d read a cereal box if it was written by Meg Cabot.” —Julia Quinn, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Bridgerton

Cabot (Princess Diaries) winningly applies her trademark likably fallible protagonists and breezy storytelling to a vampire war in New York City. TV writer Meena Harper creates fabulous plots for Insatiable, the second-highest–rated soap opera, thanks to her burdensome if lucrative psychic ability to see into the future and determine how people are going to die. And just as Insatiable is switching to a vampire theme to attract a younger demographic, a spate of chilling murders-by-exsanguination grips New York City. Enter Lucien Antonescu, a sexy, melancholic Romanian history professor/vampire who recognizes that the murders are the work of rogue vampires who have broken away from his order. (Lucien happens to be the son of Vlad the Impaler, whom Bram Stoker gave such a bad rep.) Lucien's opposition: Alaric Wulf, a sympathetic detective from the Palatine Guard, who hopes to use Meena and her prophetic gift to stop the murders and track down Lucien. Unfortunately for Alaric, Meena is a little in love with Lucien. Cabot is less concerned with creating a convincing family tree for Lucien than with creating sparks between her characters, who feel pleasantly natural even as they live alongside the vampires next door.
