Bestselling author Olivie Blake’s latest features an L.A. that is currently experiencing a “summer of exsanguination.” Even with all that going on, Anya Morris is just trying to focus on an acting career that seems to grow more and more unlikely. But then she catches a break: she gets invited to work for the de Witts, a Hollywood film dynasty. It’s in their Hollywood Hills villa that she meets Jude, who keeps to himself, even though he is next in line to be the head of the family. Anya is naturally drawn to him, despite there clearly being something really wrong with him…there’s also the matter of the family’s occult curse and bloodstained villa.
