It's ALIVE!!!

So.  Today's New Year's Eve.  Last day of 2025.  And Street Snacks dropped live at midnight.  

I know a lot of people will be drinking and staying up way too late tonight, and having a quiet day tomorrow.   So...why not add reading a book to your hangover self-care routine? 

  

Don’t leave your empties lying in the streets, guys, jeez...

Meg Turner had a quiet six months (after the end of the monster incursion). That was because her borders were closed, but her six months of peace were up when her borders came down. While, yes, bringing her borders down allowed for a lot of postponed good things, it also allowed for an ill-considered challenge for her territory and a couple of murderers to waltz across her borders.

Oh, and an abandoned fledgling that had awakened to the night, buried in a dumpster. One that the Justices would have seen culled with most of the fledglings in the Kansas City nest. Thank goodness she’d sent Radu to rescue the ones that could recover from being brought over by cannibalistic monsters, and nobody official had paid attention to how many they’d rescued.

Between hiding an extra fledgling from the new Justice, Richmond recovering from a nasty case of PTSD, a vampire hiding his feeding on the homeless as animal attacks, and another feeding on her young vampires, Meg has her hands full.

And she’d really like to close her borders again, to avoid having to deal with all of this nonsense, please and thank you.

This is the fifth in the Liquid Diet Chronicles, and I've almost finished a novella expanding on a side character or two, introduced in this book.  Probably will toss that out for y'all sometime in mid-January, so grab this one and read it now.  

(Or start at the beginning, if you want, and read all of them.  They're available KU, as a Kindle purchase, or as a paperback.)
