Blood Orange by Karina Halle - The Dracula Duet Book 1

Blood Orange by Karina Halle

A witch trained to kill him.
A vampire who’s already loved her—twice.

Dahlia Abernathy has spent her life hunting the monsters who destroyed her family. Now, her most dangerous mission yet sends her deep into the heart of Venice’s most prestigious music academy… and straight into the path of the infamous Professor Valtu Aminoff. He’s a brilliant, enigmatic vampire—one said to have inspired Dracula himself. He’s also her next target.

Disguised under a glamor spell, Dahlia intends to get close enough to drive a stake through his heart. What she doesn’t know is that Valtu has been searching for her for lifetimes—and that she’s the reincarnation of the woman he has loved and lost again and again.

In a city of masked canals and whispered secrets, their dangerous attraction ignites into something neither can resist. But when the truth comes to light, will they finally break their curse… or surrender to it once more?
