Published

Someone is killing vampires with Helsing weapons.

Dave Holden knows his family’s mark when he sees it—but the Helsings scattered decades ago. Didn’t they?

His girlfriend Mari isn’t waiting around to find out. She’s done being the target. Now she’s calling the shots, and Dave is right beside her, pushing abilities he barely understands and hoping instinct is enough.

They build a team that shouldn’t work. A mole inside enemy ranks. A vampire who used to work night security and can still outdance anyone in the room. Gnomes with long memories and opinions nobody asked for.

Labs burn. Prisoners walk out. And Ashford—four hundred years old and always one step ahead—keeps digging into Dave’s past like he already owns it.

The deeper Dave goes, the more his family history falls apart. Gran lied about something. His mother died for it. And the truth might be worse than anything hunting them now.

If you like fast-paced urban fantasy with action, humor, and found family, jump into Hiring the Dead, Book 2 of The Helsing Vampire Legacy and join the hunt
