Afterlight September 2026: Fangs for the Memories

Our Afterlight Romance theme for September is . . . FANGS FOR THE MEMORIES!

It's been deadly, fangs for the memories!

Our Afterlight September book is a standalone adult paranormal mystery rom-com, and you'll not want to miss it if you're a fan of:⁠

Grumpy x Sunshine meets Reluctant Allies
Cosy vampire rom-coms
Magical talking cats

Imagine this: he's dead – okay, he's a vampire, not quite as dramatic – and trying to enjoy his time in Italy with his cat. Maybe he's flirting with a few of the delectable local men. He's having a great time. But then an actual dead body has the audacity to turn up. Unbelievable. And it's been drained of its blood. That's just his luck. It doesn't matter that he's a reformed vampire, he still becomes their number one suspect. And the handsome detective who simply won't leave him alone? An added bonus. Now if the actual killer could be uncovered – and would just stop killing, please – that would be great. Or else he and Mr. Detective over there will have to find the killer themselves. And he can't promise there'll be no flirting involved.
