Vampires are taking over the French Quarter.
Ofelia Archer was hoping for a break, a stretch of quiet time to enjoy the opening of her brother’s new bar, but the sight of vampires walking the rooftops one evening, tracking her, makes her wary. Then, the next morning, when a body is dropped in front of a famous vampire house, things in the Quarter take a turn.
Ofelia’s dealt with vampires before, but there’s something different about this fang gang. She’s confused enough to wonder: Are they really dealing with vampires, or something else entirely?
Zach Sully, Ofelia’s fiancé and a local police detective, starts digging. It seems there’s more than one dead body afoot…and possibly a conspiracy to hide multiple deaths.
Ofelia’s team is prepared to figure out the truth, even if it means putting themselves in danger to do it. When the new enemy focuses on her father Oscar, however, Ofelia goes on the offensive.
The French Quarter is a place where things frequently go bump in the night. This fight is about to get bloody, however.
In more ways than one.

Cozy Pairings
Speakeasy is a rich and layered fragrance that opens with warm spice and soft smoke, blending cardamom, incense, and pimento berry. At its heart, notes of saffron, plum blossom, and tobacco leaves create a deep and slightly sweet warmth, while hints of licorice add a subtle intrigue. The scent settles into a smooth, lingering base of palo santo, patchouli, vanilla, and dark chocolate, bringing a soft sweetness to its darker edges. Complex and atmospheric, this fragrance feels warm, enveloping, and quietly captivating.
Why we chose this: Ofelia Archer owns New Orleans' premier supernatural speakeasy on Bourbon Street, and between zombies, succubi, vampire gangs, goblin kings, and a fiancé who is a panther shifter detective, her life has never once been quiet. Speakeasy is the candle for every book in this series not just by name but by nature, rich with smoky cardamom and the deep warmth of dark chocolate and palo santo, the scent of a French Quarter evening where the magic runs strong and the drinks run stronger. Light this candle and let the layered, atmospheric richness fill the room like a speakeasy on Bourbon Street where the bartender knows everyone's secrets and the night is always just getting started.
