On Tuesdays we offer two lines of a book we're currently reading as a teaser. This week's pick is from the adult novella, The Vampire's Warden , by S. J. Wright. "It would be so easy to let go and to give him what he wanted. It would be so natural to let him take it. To take me ." Book Summary: It was a flash in the moonlight, a blur of motion like I’d never witnessed before. No human had the capacity to move like that. When I found myself face-to-face with him there in the meadow, I knew without a doubt that the journal was authentic. I knew that my grandfather hadn’t been crazy at all. Because a foot away from me stood a vampire. Sarah Brightman reads her grandfather's journal in stunned disbelief. What was once her grandfather's responsibility has passed to her father and now to her. She has become the Warden. Her life will never be the same.
