The Truth About Blood

As an investigative journalist, Merci Lanard always gets her story but she doesn't always get the truth she wants.

After discovering her mother passed along a demon lineage, Merci goes to her mother's active retirement community to ask the tough questions about their blood, their power, and the truth about her father's death.

Instead of answers, she is gifted a dead body and a plea to find out what happened. Since Philly is peaceful and things aren't exactly perfect with Rafe, she stays in New Haven to hunt down a killer and answers about herself.
Navigating wakes and themed parties, Merci finds herself at home with drug rings and a conniving political arena threatening her mother's community of Wanderers. But as another body puts Merci in jail, she needs to draw on her own community to help- Rafe.

As she fully realizes the power of what her mother has built and the dark side of that, she finds the truth behind the killings, the truth about family, and the truth about the real power of her blood.
