Talking to the Dead
“Oh, my goodness,” Cadence sighed.
“I never believed that was possible. Don’t ask me why. I mean, with all of the things you and I have both seen in our lifetimes, why not? Right? But… after your grandfather died, well I had to give it a try. I wanted to see him again.”
“And… did it work?”

The Clandestine Saga Family Time
Cassidy was still at school when Cadence reached her parents’ home just a couple of hours later, but her sister would be back soon, and it gave her a chance to visit with her mom who had been a homemaker since Cadence was very young. Her father, who was an engineer, was still at work.While Liz Findley was a bit ditzy at times and often didn’t know when to keep her mouth closed, she was an amazing mother. Cadence had never questioned how much her parents loved her. She’d been well taken care of growing up in their two-story home in Shenandoah, Iowa, never wanting for anything
The Clandestine Saga Vampire High
Luckily, Cassidy had no desire or necessity to drink blood, human or otherwise. She had two years of high school left, and her family really wanted her to finish in Shenandoah, though Cassidy had argued that it would be better if she went to LIGHTS now to train. Cadence knew her sister could be a secret weapon in fighting Vampires—that she could potentially help them find Gibbon, who hadn’t surfaced since he escaped in October—but her parents wanted Cassidy to wait, and Cadence respected their wishes, especially since Cassidy had almost gotten killed the last time she went out on a Hunt. Not that she was supposed to be there, but nevertheless, Cadence was the one who had to sit down across from her parents and tell them that Cassidy was some sort of a Vampire/Vampire Hunter hyb
The Clandestine Saga In the Dark
Gibbon liked the dark. It was comforting. Like a warm, black blanket, he could crawl inside and shut the outside world out, as if none of it even existed. A few weeks ago, after slogging through sewers and drain pipes for months, he’d come across this new dark place. Though there were lots of people walking around above him during the day, hardly anyone ever came down here, and at night, he was free to go out, do his bidding, and then come back here to be alone, taking solace in the blackness that echoed how he felt inside—dark, empty, and all alone.The outside world was frighteni
The Clandestine Saga Dinner and Distractions
Cadence used the ride home to attempt to clear her head. She’d checked in with Aaron several times throughout the day, like she always did, but she’d had to be brief; she didn’t want him to know there was anything bothering her until she was home and had a chance to talk to him in person.They had recently had the upper-level of the building remodeled so that instead of being neighbors, their two penthouse suites were now one rather large apartment. It had been a huge step for Cadence, but she knew that she loved Aaron and that he loved her. She was certain that this was the
The Clandestine Saga Secrets
“Ooh, that doesn’t sound good,” Aaron said, his eyes narrowing. “What did I do this time? I know I didn’t leave the seat up.”She couldn’t help but giggle, but she only let him distract her for a second this time before she returned to her stoic, serious countenance. “No, uhm, my grandmother mentioned something to me today that I think you probably know about, and I was just wondering why I’d never heard of it before.”
The Clandestine Saga Portal
Cadence couldn’t help but smile at hearing that the famous Vampire Hunter was a woman. Realizing she was still angry, she quickly brushed the smile off of her face. “You never mentioned any of that before.”“There’s a lot I haven’t mentioned before. But Cadence, you’ve got to realize, as much as I would love to have Elliott back, it’s not a risk I’m willing to take. And he wouldn’t be either. I had no idea he knew about the portal. I’m wondering if that’s even what that letter meant.”
The Clandestine Saga An Unexpected Ally
Christian’s lab was actually in the same building as Jamie’s—right across the hallway—so Cadence had to be particularly careful that Aaron didn’t see her coming or going. He’d definitely think it was odd that she was carrying a backpack.She sent Christian a message on the IAC to let him know she was coming as she walked out of her apartment, so he was expecting her when she arrived just a few minutes later. Jamie’s office was the first one on the left, and before she even opened the glass door to enter, she could see that his office door was open. Luc
The Clandestine Saga History Lesson
Interlacing his fingers and placing them behind his head, Christian leaned way back in his chair, and for a second Cadence thought he might actually tip over. “Well, it was 1804. We were on a hunt in New Jersey. The war with the British was over, and we had won, but we still had fighting to do. The French had come to help, but they’d also brought in a slew of young Vampires.”“What is it with the French and Vampires?” Cadence muttered.
