[Due to a bug, this story has moved to a new home: https://www.wattpad.com/story/318690675] Jared Stern is going to die. That is, unless he can stop a vampire before the vampire gets his fangs in him... ✶✞ When righteous daydreamer Jared Stern chances upon the vampire Keen's murderous meal, he's thrust into a battle against a creature that keeps his secrets close. Stakes are raised as he commits to vampire hunting, and Jared quickly finds himself in up to his neck with their game of cat and mouse spiraling across the city. But there's more to this charismatic monster than meets the eye, and Keen, not easily deterred, takes an interest of his own in his would-be slayer. As he starts to reveal a human face, driving a stake through skin and bone proves harder than it looks in the movies. Can Jared stop a killer without becoming one himself? Is there any way to get through to a monster, or are some divides not meant to be bridged? Climb to the heights of New York City's skyscrapers and plunge to the sewers' dankest depths in a lively horror story with a deadpan penchant for puns. This is Star-Cross, Book I: Keen's Turn.
