The vibe
Darkly seductive gothic romance with predator/prey obsession, venom-sweet tension, and a brutal collision between human and Vipera worlds—intoxicating as poison and twice as dangerous.
What it’s about (spoiler-light)
Welcome back to Alina Lis’s world… where a poisoner’s bite leaves more than scars—even for the undead.
Two years after fleeing London, Alina has done the impossible: she’s built a home. In 1890s Buffalo, she leads a commune of women like herself, creating purpose from survival while experimenting on the Vipera. For a moment, peace feels real.
But peace is fragile. And Alina’s past has fangs.
Silas Forbes—the Vipera she escaped—hasn’t forgotten her. His thirst for Alina threatens everything she’s built, and he’s not hunting alone. He brings Luka Novikov, the man who once betrayed her, now bound to them both by old wounds, unpaid debts, and a history that refuses to stay buried.
As the human and Vipera worlds collide with violence, old poisons rise and new alliances form. Alina must protect the family she’s chosen. Silas must decide what price obsession demands. And Luka—marked by the poisoner’s kiss—has to survive being caught between an immortal’s hunger and a woman’s fury.
Because some venoms have no antidote.
And some hungers never end.
And some hungers never end.
