Suck It: The Artemis Necklace Series Book 1

I'm Vianne Vanator, and I'm an alcoholic. And, apparently, a vampire hunter.

Turns out I'm the descendent of a famous vampire hunter. However, without a magical necklace, I don't have the same abilities my ancestor did to annihilate bloodsuckers and other supernatural beings that go bump in the night.

The problem is, I didn't know any of this until vampires tried to kill me, a vampire hunter saved me from them only to then kidnap me, and I accidently made a deal with a hellhound.

Not exactly the day I expected when I went to work this morning.

If I want to continue having a pulse, I'll need to stay one step ahead of the vampires and beat them to finding the Artemis Necklace. Luckily, I'm being helped by a pushy hellhound (who might also be okay with ripping me to shreds) and a veteran vampire hunter (who, ahem, kidnapped me).

Yup. This is gonna go great.

Suck It follows Vianne as she learns about her family's history as vampire hunters, comes to terms with a world full of supernatural creatures, and discovers that many of those creatures want nothing better than to see her dead.

Bite Me: Artemis Necklace Series Book 2

My name is Vianne Vânători. I'm a vampire hunter… and I'm totally screwed.

I risked my life against vampires to get the Artemis necklace and now it doesn’t work. To figure out why its powers have faded, Jax, my annoying hunter-mentor, has sent me to Ricketts, Maine in search of a witch named Rosalyn who he thinks can fix the necklace.

Only Ricketts isn't exactly a normal town. Along with witches, it's home to hot werewolves, angry trolls, and at least one mysterious vampire. And the cherry on top? The town is dealing with a series of murders that definitely weren't committed by a human.

Instead of getting in and out of town unnoticed, I'm coerced into a deal with a werewolf to help uncover who the murderer is in return for an introduction to Rosalyn. And because my life isn't complicated enough, I can't let on that my great and powerful Vânători abilities aren't working. I'll just have to rely on my faithful hellhound, Ramble, to keep me safe while I investigate the murders… and hope that the vampires don't catch up to me in the meantime.

Easy right?

Bite Me is the second book of the Artemis Necklace Series and follows Vianne and Ramble as they encounter new supernatural creatures and learn that not everything that goes bump in the night is a monster.
