The Next Generation

by S. C. Stephens

First published 2017

Julian and Nika Adams carry a dangerous secret through the halls of their high school. Born as partial vampires, the twins have spent their lives concealing their true nature from classmates and friends. Nika craves someone she can trust completely, a partner as remarkable as her father, but the boys around her fall short of her hopes. Everything changes when Hunter Evans arrives in their neighborhood. Julian faces his own struggle with the empathic connection he shares with his twin sister. What once brought them joy as children now torments him as he develops feelings for someone beyond his reach. Every emotion he experiences flows directly to Nika, making his romantic longings impossible to keep private. The twins must navigate the complexities of adolescence while maintaining the deception that protects them. Their supernatural heritage sets them apart in ways their peers cannot understand, forcing them to choose between safety and authentic connection.
