Gem Series, Craig Jones, TWB Press, vampire free

Gem has her hands full with a couple of guys who know her secrets and take control of the very words that come out of her mouth. This one is a real jaw-dropper. On top of that, it’s FREE to read from TWB Press and Craig Jones.

Gem is everything she seems, beautiful, rich, and successful at what she does, a vampire hit woman for the Mob. She makes problems go away. In Book #1, when one crime boss decides she’s too big for her britches and double-crosses her, he’d better get out the crucifixes and holy water, because crime hurts bad, real bad, and Gem leaves no loose ends.

Gem is everything she seems, beautiful, rich, and successful at what she does, a vampire hit woman for the Mob. She makes problems go away. In Book #2, when one crime boss puts a five million dollar price on her head, dead or undead, he and his goons are in for one hell of a bloody bad ride.

Life, undead or otherwise, is about choices. In Book #3, Katrina and Gem have a strained relationship, at best, with Gem sleeping in her coffin all day and on the prowl at night as a hit woman for the mob. All Katrina wants is a normal life, but when she's wounded in a drive-by shooting, Gem sets her gun sites on the shooter, and Katrina is swept up in the nasty business of revenge. So much for a normal life...until a pendant is discovered. If Gem wears it in sunlight, she could become a Daywalker...or if the legend isn't true...she could burn up and turn to dust. Katrina and Gem risk it all in No Choices.

In this fourth Craig Jones vampire short story, Gem wears the Norse god’s pendant and is empowered with the un-light. For the first time in her undead existence she is free of the darkness. Experiencing the vibrant life of New York City during daylight hours fills her with a sense of normalcy, but she soon discovers the pendant has some serious side effects: headaches, visions of the past, and the appearance of ‘the smoking man’ who will reveal her lost human life and tear her undead world apart.

In this series finale of Craig Jones's vampire short story saga, as Gem battles her sire for possession of the pendant, she accidentally shoots Katrina through the chest. To complicate matters, New York City is under siege. British drug lords are taking over Bradley's empire. When he seeks Gem's help and protection, he inadvertently puts her family in grave danger. With her professional and personal lives on a collision course, she doesn't get mad. She gets even. And in the process, she loses something she may never get back...her immortal beauty.
