Mosquito-size fairies now indulge their taste for human bloodand for most humans, a fairy bite means insanity or death. Luckily, Annabelle Lee isnt most humans.

Suddenly her already bumpy relationship with Cane turns even rockier, and even the most trust-worthy friends become suspects. Annabelles life is imploding: between relationship drama, a heartbreaking murder investigation, Breeze-crazed drug runners, and a few too many rum and Cokes, Annabelle is a woman on the runfrom her past, toward her future, and into the arms of a darkness waiting just for her. . . .
