Blood Under Neon: A Romantasy that has Vampires

Posted on 27 December 2025 by audiobb_com

A powerful female vampire. A hunter sworn to destroy her. A city that feeds on secrets.

Chicago, 1952. Beneath neon lights and smoky jazz clubs, monsters don’t hide in the shadows—they run the city.

Maribel Crosswyn is no innocent immortal. She is a disciplined, seductive vampire who rules her territory through consent, loyalty, and control. Her nightclub is neutral ground in a city brimming with paranoia, power plays, and blood-soaked politics. As long as she stays unseen, the fragile peace holds.

Until a hunter walks through her doors.

Callum Rourke was trained to eliminate monsters, not hesitate before them. Hardened by war and bound by doctrine, he believes vampires are threats to be erased—not temptations to be desired. Yet Maribel resists everything he’s been taught to expect. She is powerful, deliberate, and dangerously irresistible.

Forced into a reluctant alliance when a hidden conspiracy begins manipulating both hunters and vampires, Maribel and Callum must navigate a volatile attraction that blurs the line between enemy and ally. A single, consensual exchange of blood binds them in ways neither fully understands—drawing the attention of forces determined to use that bond as a weapon.

Blood Under Neon is a sensual, noir-infused vampire romantasy that flips traditional power dynamics on their head. With a dominant vampire heroine, a morally conflicted human hunter, and a richly atmospheric 1950s setting, this is a romantasy that has vampires where desire carries consequences and love threatens to ignite war.

Perfect for readers who crave:
• Vampire romantasy with a powerful female lead
• Enemies-to-lovers tension rooted in choice, not fate
• Dark glamour, jazz-era noir, and Cold War paranoia
• A romantasy that has vampires, politics, passion, and bite-deep intimacy

This is Book One of the Blood & Neon trilogy. The romance burns slow, the stakes rise fast, and the city will never be the same.
