Exhausted and acting on a whim, she visits a discreet matchmaker on Cobble Street and is paired with Emil Sandor—a four-hundred-year-old vampire who wears mended cardigans, reads overdue library books, and hasn't fed from a living human since 1883.When Emil feeds from a person, he doesn't just take blood—he takes their entire life, memories, and inner world permanently at full volume. Full of eleven lives he still carries, he relies on a local blood clinic to survive. But when a municipal policy forces the clinic to close, Delia offers Emil the one thing she has guarded her entire life: her voice, her hands, and her unrecorded art.Richly atmospheric, deeply romantic, and exquisitely quiet, 11 Her Vampire Thirst is an unusual paranormal romance about memory, sign language, intimacy, and the powerful desire to be remembered by someone who can never forget.
