You'd be amazed what you can justify at two in the morning - with someone's blood on your hands and a reason that almost makes sense.

Marilyn Cross is dying. Her rare and aggressive condition is a ticking time bomb, and her severe bleeding disorder makes surgery impossible. Every hospital turned her away-the tests were clear: a three-percent chance of survival and no legal treatment options.

That is, until her doctor with no regard for ethics offers her a way out: a new identity, off the books, in exchange for sixty pints of blood.

With nothing to lose, Marilyn strikes a deal-and sets out to collect the blood by any means necessary. Helping her are the only people she can trust: her fiercely loyal boyfriend and her guilt-ridden brother, recently reborn into faith. Together, they prowl Chicago's streets, building a mobile blood bank one victim at a time.

But what started as a desperate bid for survival quickly spirals into a nightmare. Their methods grow riskier. Victims stop waking up. And the police-led by sharp, relentless Detective Sam Blaine-are closing in.

As time runs out and Marilyn's health declines, the trio must confront the price of survival-and the darkness they've unleashed in themselves.

If you're into gritty urban crime fiction with a strong female lead and a touch of dark romance, Blood Seekers of the Night is your next must-read. It's an emotionally charged noir thriller about how far we'll go for the ones we love-and what we become when we get there.

For fans of Gone Girl, You, and Dexter, Blood Seekers of the Night delivers razor-sharp suspense, dark morality, and haunting questions about who lives-and who bleeds.
