A nice monster, but no less dangerous. She thinks the same of her own friends, so close they're nearly family. She didn't ask for this life, it was forced upon her one frigid winter evening. As it turned out, she owed her life to a pair of curious children, smart enough to shout for help as Sam lie beneath the beast, drenched in her own blood. She didn't ask for it, but was hers nonetheless. So she embraced her inner monster and used it to hunt down the very one that turned her. To bring him in safely or to end him warred in her mind. She longed for vengeance, but can't hurt his brother. In all this chaos, Sam has one rock, in Ada. An enigma--or as her best friend, Charlotte, put it once, a cryptid--Ada knocks her off her feet and then keeps her tantalizingly close to the truth of her cagey history. If not for Ada, the drive to bring down her attacker would be all consuming. She would like to think she was better than murder, but was she really?
