Blood Leverage | J. S. Hazzard
As humanity struggles with the aftermath of a century-long vampiric bloodbath, life outside the remaining great cities revolves around being inside by sunset and never questioning the status quo. Aurora Strong is practically a pariah in her village thanks to her mother's infamous involvement with vampires -- not to mention her own inability to play by the rules. Not content with being a mere social outcast, Rory conspires in a secret, and very illegal, blood brokering scheme. She enjoys her private rebellion against the town that shuns her -- until her partner in crime goes missing, and suddenly it's not about her anymore. Now, with her partner either enslaved as a living blood bank or already dead, Rory's illicit blood brokering contacts are her only hope of making things right. Assuming they allow her to leave...or even to live.
