Vampire hunting is hard enough - it's worse when your ex is involved. Follow vampire hunter Alex Priest and magical analyst Janelle Garcia as they try to save the world from corporate demons in this all-new novel!
In a world where vampires and demon ilk are very, very real, two agencies work to keep the world safe from the forces of darkness. Demon Eradication and Denial (DEAD LLC) is a corporate entity that charges itself with the training and employment of demon slayers - specialists in combating magical beings. Living Corpses that Bite (LC & B) is a tax-exempt public entity that relies on time-proven traditions to keep humanity safe from vampires. When hunting evil became blue collar work, the evil had to evolve.
Recent evidence suggests vampires have learned to use magic, meaning they're more than just a nightly threat. For the first time since their inception, DEAD LLC and LC & B will have to join forces. Which means, for the first time since their bitter break up, Alexandra Priest and Janelle Garcia will have to face one another - or risk an apocalypse. No pressure.
Praise for Alex Priest
Arledge doesn’t hold back even a little. Jordaan holds you in the palm of their hand the entire time and really, there isn’t much you can do about it, but enjoy the ride. - Chuck Pineau (Ethereal Publishing)
This first issue of Alex Priest sucked me in immediately with the epic action sequence between Alex and the vampires. Not only are the fighting moments so fantastically done, but I loved the fun comedic moments added throughout. - The Nerdy Girl Express
Alex Priest is a pure delight, a spiritual sequel to Buffy in an engaging world of surprising depth and detail. It's got action, romance, laughs, monsters, and all the other cool things that make life worth living. - Travis Holyfield (Street Clothes)
More fights. More tender moments between our heroes. More corporate intrigue.

What is The Book Bazaar?
During this event, authors/indie presses run their own crowdfunding campaigns, with hopes of funding their publishing project. All campaigns run at the same time, and each campaign cross-promotes one another. Each campaign runs on an all-or-nothing basis, which means if they don’t meet their minimum goal, they can’t create their projects. 🙁 That’s why we’re hoping to count on you, the lovely reader, to help uplift these publishers and really make this Bazaar something special!
The more projects you back, the more rewards you’ll get. Some Bazaar projects are paired with another project, and by backing both Bazaar projects, you’ll get EXTRA free rewards! Back all Bazaar projects to maximize your rewards!
